An offence has been registered at the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) police station in connection with the forging of 1,231 demand drafts to transfer funds of Rs 84.25 lakh to some other accounts by a courier company. The reputable bank, which has registered the complaint, alleged that the courier company had been doing this from February 2018 to October 2018. The cops have registered an FIR against the courier company.

The bank located in BKC had received complaints that demand drafts (DD) issued by it had not reached the people and companies concerned. When the bank conducted its own inquiry it found that the DDs were deposited in credit cooperative banks and money had been withdrawn. The fraudulent transactions had started from February 2018 and continued till October 2018. The bank found out that the courier company that had been given the contract of mailing the DDs was responsible for it.
