Panchkula Court has dismissed the anticipatory bail application of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Sandeep Ghosh and Vice President (VP) Gaurav Bhatia of Bharti Axa Life Insurance.
They were booked by the Panchkula police in a case of cheating, forgery under sections 420, 467, 468, 471 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) on September 12, 2015.
The Court stated that prima facie, the allegations against accused are very serious in nature, and hence a detailed probe is required to verify the allegations. For this purpose, their custodial interrogation is required. Therefore, the Court dismissed the anticipatory bail of the two accused.
The case was registered on the complaint of P D Joshi, 67, a resident of Sector 9 of Panchkula. He alleged that he was trapped by the tele-callers who had given wrong information on the refund of earlier policies by showing the fear of income tax raid and impersonating as Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IrdaI) Chairman, insurance complaint officers, bank officers and tax officers. In the name of fixed deposit, they took the huge amount from him through cheque.
Joshi also said that eight life insurance policies worth Rs 14.29 lakhs were issued in the name of his family members, Shelly Joshi, Prerna, Janvi and in his name, and he has been shown as the proposer, though he had never given his consent to insure them with his money.
Highlighting the illegalities, Joshi said that his annual income, educational qualification, height, contact number and email ID were mentioned differently in the eight policies, indicating the company had violated the anti-money laundering guidelines.
