Bhopal: Cashier Arrested For Embezzling Rs 15 Lakh
A cashier who worked for a builder was arrested by the Kotwali police in Bhopal for embezzling funds worth Rs 15 lakh. The police received a complaint from builder Mukesh Rathore, who alleged that his subordinate, Tarun Vishwakarma, had entered fake figures in the book of accounts.
Vishwakarma had transferred the money to his bank account after showing it as expenditure on office expenses, electricity bills, gas cylinder expenses, and rent. The fraud came to light when Rathore was checking records during an audit.
Rathore also gave a credit card to Vishwakarma to get it closed, but Vishwakarma used it to purchase items worth Rs 80,000. Finally, Rathore hired another man to keep an eye on Vishwakarma and uncovered the fraud.
The builder then filed a complaint with the police, who registered a case and took Vishwakarma into custody for questioning.
This incident highlights the importance of vigilance in financial matters and the need to keep a close check on the book of accounts to prevent such frauds from occurring. It is important for employers to trust their employees, but it is equally important to maintain a system of checks and balances to prevent embezzlement and fraud.
The police in Bhopal have urged all employers to be proactive in detecting and preventing such incidents to safeguard their interests. The public can assist the police in their fight against such crimes by reporting any suspicious activities or frauds to the authorities.
This case is a reminder that embezzlement and fraud can happen anywhere and that it is incumbent upon all of us to remain vigilant and alert to prevent financial crimes.
