Gurgaon NGOs allege ₹44.6 lakh diversion through cheques, bank records

Two Gurgaon-based organisations have alleged that a former employee and several associates diverted about ₹44.6 lakh by misusing signed cheques and removing entries from bank records shared internally.

Sector 14 police station registered separate FIRs on August 10 against Ankit Gupta and others named in the complaints. Vimarsh Prakashan Foundation alleged that nearly ₹20 lakh was diverted between June 2022 and April 2026. Vichar Vinimay Nyas Trust alleged losses of about ₹24.6 lakh between November 2022 and February 2026.

Both organisations said Gupta handled banking and expense-related work after joining in February 2022. The complaints allege that signed cheques kept for routine or specified payments were filled with Gupta’s account details or those of acquaintances.

They also alleged that PDF bank statements were converted into Excel sheets and that entries linked to the disputed transfers were removed before the records were shared internally and with chartered accountants.

Police invoked provisions related to cheating, forgery, use of forged documents and criminal conspiracy. The foundation’s FIR also includes an allegation of theft.
