According to Peter, the accused—identified as Anand Arun Uike (26), a resident of Gopal Nagar, Nagpur—was entrusted with the responsibility of handling the companies’ bank-related tasks. In this role, he had access to cheques that had been pre-signed by Director Augustin Joseph Stalin for official use.
Instead of using the cheques for authorized transactions, Uike allegedly exploited the trust placed in him and misappropriated a total of ₹27,80,800. After carrying out the fraudulent withdrawals, he reportedly vanished and could not be contacted.
Following the complaint, the Sadar Police have registered a case against Uike under Section 316(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). A search is underway to trace the absconding accused, and further investigation is in progress.
