Mumbai, January 1 The Naupada police on Friday arrested five people — all into real estate business — for allegedly stealing two blank cheques from a Thane - based builder and withdrawing cash by forging his signature. Chandrakant Bhide, a Thane-based builder, registered a case of theft with the Naupada police station on December 24 after he found that two cheques were missing from his cheque book.

“During the course of investigation, we came to know that one of the cheques was being deposited in the ICICI bank in Bangalore and cash ammounting to Rs 39.4 lakh was being transferred to the account of Gulmani Traders. We were keeping a close watch on the person who would be withdrawing the cash from that account. So, when Bramhand Reddy, one of the accused, was withdrawing the amount, the bank officials alerted us,” said GS Madgulkar, senior police inspector, Naupada police station.

The Naupada police, in co-ordination with the Bangalore police, took Reddy in custody while he was withdrawing cash amounting to Rs 9 lakh.

The other four arrested accused have been identified as Anajnyya Reddy, Prasad Shetty, Prashant Potari, Santosh Gangal. “They had not only forged the signatures of Bhide, but also opened a fake account in the ICICI bank in Bangalore,” added Madgulkar.
