Panchkula, June 11 -- A man has been booked for allegedly stealing and forging two cheques totalling Rs.2.94 lakh from the Punjab National Bank (PNB) Kalka branch. The fraud is believed to have occurred between March 3 and 19, 2025, police said.
The complaint, lodged by Ramesh Kumar Garg, the branch manager of PNB Kalka, led to an FIR at Kalka police station against the accused, Harsh Sharma. According to the complaint, two cheques, one for Rs.1,44,628 deposited by Anita and another for Rs.1,49,721 presented for Kalka based firm M/s Kanhaiya Lal Brij Lal, went missing from the branch. An inquiry by bank officials revealed that Harsh Sharma allegedly deposited these cheques into his personal accounts at Union Bank of India branches in Parwanoo and Panchkula (Sector 11). He then reportedly withdrew Rs.1.20 lakh from the account where the Rs.1,44,628 cheque was credited. The bank asserts that Sharma intentionally stole and forged the cheques by altering the payee details.
