Sir,
I have received a complaint from Mrs. Shimla Devi Bhardwaj resident of 10315 CopColn Stockton Californaia (U.S.A.) during her stay in India lives at Nisha Bueauty Parlour, Bansan wala Bazar, Phagwara
Mrs Shimla Devi has accused the officials of ICICI Bank, Phagwara. She named the Bank officials Miss Vani & Mr. Vivek Sharma who have defrauded the customer Mrs. Shimla Devi in connivance with other Phagwara ICICI Bank Officials of lakhs of rupees.
She had reported the matter of fraudulent transactions in her account but no action has been taken so far against the fraudulent officials.
The officials promised to dispatch the documents at her United States address, but they failed to dispatch the same. The bank officials have withdrawn amount of Rs. 2, 00, 000/- and Rs. 1, 00, 000/- hotch-potched by the bank officials. Why not the bank make the inquiry on the particular transactions. Why don’t ICICI officials reply to the representations of American Senior Citizen lady. Why not the statements of the Senior Citizen be recorded and the matter be investigated.
The ICICI bank officials committed financial fraud with Mrs. Shimla Devi Bhardwaj by asking her to put signatures on blank papers. Though she objected but the concerned officials said that we shall fill the documents later on.
