She alleged that the three forged her signature and took a loan of Rs 4.5 crore from another firm, which is a builder company. She further added that using her and her husband Virender Sehwag’s name, Kakkar and his partners had acquired the loan and later failed to pay them back.
Based on her complaint, the police have registered a case under Sections 420, 468, 471 and 34, which account to cheating and dishonesty, forgery, using as genuine a forged document and common intention respectively, of the Indian Penal Code.
Her complaint read, “The accused persons approached the creditors without any consent and knowledge of the complainant … and availed loan of Rs 4.5 crore from them. Due to the default, the creditors invoked the arbitration clause and filed a complaint in the court. During the proceeding, it was shocking for the complainant to see her signature and partite agreement, which she had never signed.”
