She then forged the signature of the company accountant Chinmay Das and handed over two cheques worth Rs. 1.25 lakh to her younger sister Sanjeeda, who then encashed the same from ICICI bank in sector 20, the police said.
On Thursday, Shiney went to the same ICICI bank branch in sector 20 to encash another cheque worth Rs. 28,000. However, the branch manager got suspicious of the signature and called the company enquiring about the cheque. "After the accountant denied having sent any employee to the bank, the manager informed the police, who then arrested Shiney, said Deputy Superintendent of Police Brajesh Kumar Shrivastav.
The police have registered a case in this regard and have also identified Shiney's younger sister Sanjeeda as a co-accused. They are yet to arrest Sanjeeda so far.
