She denies charges, alleges her legal advisor stole cheque leaves from office.
An FIR has been registered against Nandini Alva, the wife of JD(U) leader, late Jeevaraj Alva, in Sadashivanagar police station after the fourth ACMM court ordered the police to investigate a complaint of cheating against her.
Nandini Alva, along with her daughter Priyanka Alva, who is the wife of actor Vivek Oberoi and an employee of ALV Project, has been booked for alleged cheating and threatening advocates who worked with her and are overdue for receiving their payment from her.
Preliminary police investigations revealed that Nandini Alva allegedly failed to respect the payments to her advocates, and that the amount was to the tune of Rs75 lakh along with Rs10,000 per month as travel expenses while they worked with her for the project. Alva is alleged to have cheated her legal advisor N Vinod and his team of four advocates.
Vinod approached the court after police officers failed to take any action against Nandini over his complaint. The court, on November 30, passed an order in which it referred the case to Sadashivanagar police to register an FIR and take necessary action against Nandini and her daughter. However, Nandini denied the allegations.
When DNA contacted her, she said: “I have not cheated anyone. I admit that the advocates worked with me for the past three years. But I am not due for any amount to be paid to any one of the advocates. It is a false allegation made by them.”
She made a counter allegation. “Vinod stole my cheque leaves from my office in Sadashivanagar when he was working with me. He himself wrote Rs30 lakh on a cheque leaf bearing number 242517 and deposited the cheque for collection in United Bank of India’s Cantonment Branch on Brigade Road on October 24. The bank officials called me and informed me that Vinod had put the cheque for withdrawing a huge amount. That is when I got to know that the cheque leaves were stolen,” she said.
Alva’s cheque leaves bearing numbers 242516, 242517, 242256, 242558, 240435, 240436 and 240437 were stolen, according to the document she sent to DNA over fax. Alva filed a complaint against Vinod with Sadashivanagar police about the cheques being stolen on October 26. But a police official investigating the case said there was no evidence to prove that the cheques were stolen by Vinod. “If the cheques were stolen, the complaint should have been lodged immediately. Even after the bank informed on October, 24, she filed a complaint only on October, 26 which makes us suspect something fishy,” the officer said.
