Myself dr. Girish rangnekar & i have been in media industry for last 20 years & have worked with media giants like abp news, zee tv, lokmat & sakal. I have also done phd in mass communication.
Myself & my wife 'sapana rangnekar' are having our 2 accounts in corporation bank's pimpri chinchwad branch for last 10+ years. Mine is a current account by the name as 'point of view' whereas my wife's is a savings account by the name as 'sapana rangnekar'. We have got cheque books for both the accounts & normally all the cheque books are kept with me in my bag. Both these cheque books look alike, have same colour & those days the account names were not printed on these cheque books. (I use to manually put a company stamp/seal on each of the cheques for my current account.)
The case -
• i issued one such cheque to person named 'shreya bugade' last year on 10.02.2017. (Shreya bugade is a celebrity artist)
• instead o[censored]sing current account cheque book (I. E 'point of view'), i happen to use savings account cheque book (I. E. Of sapana rangnekar)
• i myself signed the cheque with 'point of view' stamp as well. (Cheque copy is also attached)
• the incidence happened unknowingly in a rush rush situation after the shooting.
• this was immediately brought to bank's notice by giving stop payment instruction to the said cheques.
• fresh cheque was issued to shreya bugade from 'point of view' account & same was cleared/credited to her during the same period.
The issue -
• on 26.07.18, (That is last month) i got sms alert of debit of rs. 25, 000.
• i approached bank & i was told that it is credited to shreya bugade.
• i asked the cheque copy & to my surprise it was my wife's savings account cheque which was given to shreya bugade & the amount was debited from my current account.
• i immediately lodged the complaint. (Attached herewith is copy of the same for your reference)
• i am following up with the branch but nothing is happening at their end.
