Dehradun, 8 Apr: A boutique owner from Dehradun, Rashmi Behl, has approached the court for justice after claiming that her repeated complaints to the police have been ignored. Behl has accused a woman named Sushma Sharma of forging her signature on a stolen cheque and attempting to withdraw Rs 9.5 lakh.
The incident reportedly dates back to 2021 when Behl discovered that some of her blank cheques had gone missing. She filed a report at the ISBT police outpost and also informed IDBI Bank’s Karbari Grant Branch, which then closed her account as a precaution. However, trouble resurfaced when one of the lost cheques was allegedly used by Sushma Sharma, who filled in Rs 9.5 lakh and tried to encash it using what Behl claims were fake signatures. The fraud came to light when the bank alerted Behl.
When she confronted Sharma, Behl claims she was met with verbal abuse and threats. According to the complaint, Sharma allegedly said, “Cheating people is what I do. If you report me, you’ll face the consequences.” With no action taken by the authorities despite her efforts, Behl has now appealed to the court, requesting it to instruct Vasant Vihar police to file an FIR and begin a proper investigation.
