According to the complaint registered with the Navrangpura Police Station, the employee, Pradeep Maheriya, had been entrusted with the job of delivering Rs 60 lakh to the owner of the showroom.
An employee of a vehicle showroom allegedly disappeared with Rs 60 lakh on Saturday. According to the complaint registered with the Navrangpura Police Station, the employee, Pradeep Maheriya, had been entrusted with the job of delivering Rs 60 lakh to the owner of the showroom.
The complaint, filed by one Pankaj Tailor, 54, an accountant of Emerald Honda showroom near Gandhigram railway station, states that Maheriya had been working as an accountant in the company for the last eight years.
Maheriya, along with another employee Jagat Bhavsar, had set off for Thaltej to give the day's cash collection, amounting to Rs 45 lakh, to owner Kanhaiyalal Thakkar on Saturday. The showroom sells cars and two wheelers and also provides other services to its customers.
On the way to the owner's house in Thaltej, Maheriya had been instructed to collect Rs 15 lakh from another showroom of the company in Parimal Garden.
Tailor said that usually each branch deposited their day's collection in the bank but since Saturday and Sunday was a bank holiday, all the collection at different centres were supposed to come to the headquarters near the railway station.
"I put the Rs 45 lakh collected at the headquarters in a backpack with instructions for Maheria to collect the rest of Rs 15 lakh from the Parimal Garden showroom. Later, I called him on his mobile phone and he confirmed that he had collected it," the complaint said.
Tailor further said that when another employee called Maheriya after some time, both his mobile phones were switched off and so they called Bhavsar.
Despite their attempts, Maheriya could not be located. The company then lodged a complaint against Maheriya for theft of Rs 60 lakh.
