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have withdrawn amount of Rs. 2,00,000/- and Rs. 1,00,000/- hotch-potched by the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.
DETAIL:
Mrs Shimla Devi Bhardwaj is the resident of 10315 COP COLN
STOCKTON CALIFORNIA U.S.A. In year 2005 she came to Phagwara to dispose off her
land situated in India. As she had been
already operating an Account with ICICI bank Phagwara Branch.
On 2nd
April 2005 As she had deposited the amount of her land proceeds in ICICI
bank, Phagwara Branch.On 24th
May 2005 she approached the Icici Bank Branch Phagwara to convert the
money deposited in bank branch in US dollars and close the account. The
balance of the Account was about Rs. 3 Lac. The
dealing officer to whom she requested was bank official Miss Vani to whom
she requested to close the account. On my
request Miss vani got furious and contacted Mr. Vivek Sharma. Both of them
pressurized not to close the account. They gave her a proposal that we
shall issue an FDR to you. In that scheme your money will get doubled in
three years. On their pressure she admitted and requested to issue her
FDR. She
was given a bundle of papers to sign on which nothing had been filled up.
On asking by Mrs. Shimla Devi that these documents are blank why not you
get it filled. They said that we shall get it filled later on. In
reply they said don’t worry we shall get those filled up later on and
asked her to put signatures on the blank forms. While putting the
signatures she says that there are bundle of papaers what sort of the
scheme you have. They told that don’t worry we will not wrongly guide you.
On their assurance she put signatures on blank papers. When
she demanded the copy of papers. They told that according to our bank’s
policy
we don’t give any paper or document on the spot will provide the papers to
you later on. She said as I shall go back to U.S.A.shortly. They promised
to dispatch the papers at
U.S.A’s address.She
got the papers after 6months time. In the documents there was a ICICI
bank’s cheque book and a receipt of ICICI Prudential. She astonished to
get the documents as she had not opted for any sort of Insurance plan. As
she could not understand what are those documents. She
made a call to the bank’s branch. The concerned officials don’t reply to
her query. In
2009 she came to India. She is running pillar to post to inquire about
her funds from the last two months but no one is there to reply her. Now
the Bank officials says deposit Rs. 6 Lac in Icici Purdential if you like
to get refund of your amount. On asking how much. She astonished to note
that the Bank officials have made another fraud with her. The Bank
officials told her that she has withdrawn Rs. 1
Lac from her account. She got cheque book after six months. How she
withdrawn Rs. 1 lac from her account. The fraud one they transferred Rs. 2
Lac to ICICI
Prudential by dodging her. When no policy no scheme no talk of insurance
has been done. Second withdrawn Rs. 1 lac fraudulently from her account.
On 3rd March 2009 she complained to Police to
investigate the matter but nothing has been done so far. On 23rd March
2009 her statement has been
recorded but no action has been taken so far. She extended the return
ticket to U.S.A. twice. But
