Ahmedabad: A 51-year-old resident of Ghuma accused two people of cheating him after they took cotton yarn worth Rs 91.52 lakh and failed to pay the amount.
Anandnagar police registered the complaint of cheating and breach of trust under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The complainant stated that the cotton yarn company had authorised him to file the complaint.
According to the complaint, the directors of a company from Surendranagar had contacted the company he was working with, expressing interest in buying yarn.
Last year, between April and May, the two directors placed orders for yarn following which his company issued invoices totalling Rs 1.35 crore.
The complainant stated that as per the deal, the cotton yarn was supplied on time, and the directors were to make the payment according to the terms agreed upon regarding the delivery of goods. However, they paid only a partial amount, leaving an outstanding amount of Rs 91.52 lakh.
However, the directors of the Surendranagar-based company insisted that the pending amount was only Rs 87.94 lakh. The complainant stated that with interest, the unpaid amount came to about Rs 91.52 lakh.
Despite repeated demands, they did not settle the dues. Attempts to contact them at their office and factory addresses have been unsuccessful as the directors closed the company. A complaint was therefore registered with Anandnagar police for cheating and breach of trust.
