Dehradun, 7 Sep: Rajpur police have registered an FIR on the complaint of Sharad Kashyap, who has accused his brother Akash Kashyap, father Prem Kashyap and former officials and employees of IndusInd Bank of allegedly opening and operating a joint bank account in his name without his knowledge or consent.
The case was registered at Rajpur police station under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. The FIR was registered at 5.33 p.m. on Sunday. Sub-Inspector Parveen Saini has been assigned the investigation into the allegations.
Complainant Sharad Kashyap has alleged that he recently came across the cheque book and record slips relating to a joint account allegedly opened in his name and that of his brother at the IndusInd Bank branch on Rajpur Road, Dehradun. He claimed that the account was operated between 4 February 2012 and 25 September 2025 and that transactions involving lakhs of rupees had taken place through it.
The complainant has further alleged that payments were made from the account to Children’s Academy and to his father, Prem Kashyap. He further claimed that he had neither visited the bank to open the account nor applied for its opening. He also denied signing any KYC documents or other forms connected with the account and also asserted that he had not authorised anyone to operate it on his behalf.
Sharad Kashyap stated that he visited the bank’s Rajpur Road branch on 8 June 2026 and sought documents related to the opening and operation of the account. However, he alleged that bank officials did not provide the records to him. He subsequently served a legal notice on the bank, seeking preservation and supply of the account-opening documents, KYC papers, nomination records and other relevant material.
The complainant further alleged that, when he contacted the branch manager, Chaitanya Dower, and deputy branch manager, Naveen Kumar, on 12 June, he was informed that the e-mail ID and mobile number linked to the account did not belong to him. He also claimed that he was not in India when the account was allegedly opened.
On the basis of these circumstances, Kashyap has alleged that forged documents were prepared in his name in connivance with the then branch manager and other bank employees, and that the account was subsequently misused. He expressed apprehension that transactions involving crores of rupees may have been carried out through the account by his brother and father.
The complaint names Akash Kashyap and Prem Kashyap as accused and seeks legal action against them, the then branch manager of IndusInd Bank, Dehradun, and other employees allegedly involved in the matter.
The complainant has also submitted copies of his passport, the cover page and record slip of the cheque book, a cancelled cheque and the legal notice served on the bank. The police have begun investigating the allegations.
