Hubby tries to trap wife with forged cheque

NAGPUR: A 46-year-old advocate has been accused of forging his wife’s signature on a Rs5 lakh cheque to implicate her in a cheque bounce case. The man wanted to avenge the complaint of torture and cruelty lodged by his wife against him at Saoner. However, the woman has now filed another case of fraud against the man at Sitabuldi police station.

Cops said accused

Rizwan Ahmed

, also a maulvi at a mosque, had fraudulently procured a chequebook and passbook of his wife Parveen. He forged Parveen’s signature on a cheque of Rs 5lakh made out to himself, and deposited it in his account.

Since Parveen’s account didn’t have sufficient cash, the cheque bounced. The man then claimed is court that Parveen had borrowed the amount from him, and when he demanded the money back, she gave a cheque that bounced.

Senior PI

Hemant Kharabe

told TOI, “Rizwan, a resident of

Pipla Daak Bungalow

on

Saoner Road

, had kept his first marriage secret when he wooed and married Parveen some years back. When she was two months pregnant, she came to know about his first wife, which led to a major fight between them. Rizwan drove her out of the house around a year back.”

Parveen had approached Saoner police station and lodged offence of physical harassment and mental torture against Rizwan, which angered him, and he decided to implicate her in a case.

The PI added Rizwan wanted Parveen, now residing with her parents at Sadar, to go through the pain and registered a case of dishonour of cheque under section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. When she received a notice from court, she went to the bank and verified the details, and then approached Sitabuldi police.
