New Delhi | Former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag’s wife, Aarti Sehwag has filed a complaint worth Rs 4.5 crores claiming that her business partners cheated her.
In her complaint to the police last month, Aarti Sehwag alleged that her business partners forged her signature to take a loan of Rs 4.5 crore from another firm and later defaulted on the payment.
“The accused persons approached the creditors without any consent and knowledge of the complainant … and availed loan of Rs 4.5 crore from them,” Aarti alleged.
Aarti claimed that the accused used her husband’s name to persuade the creditors in granting them a loan.
At the time of repayment, two cheques were issued, but the payment did not go through.
“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,” it added.
Based on Aarti’s complaint, the police has registered an FIR against the accused under Sections 420 (cheating and dishonestly), 468 (forgery), 471 (using as genuine a forged document) and 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code.
