The Board announced compensation of Rs 3.5 crore following which Ms.Sharma along with her daughter Sunitha Sharma and grand daughter Preethi applied to claim the compensation along with the relevant documents.
The trio on July 31 went to KIADB office situated in Khanija Bhavan to get the progress of the claim.To their shock the officials inform them that they have issued the compensation cheque already and showed the signature made at the official document which was made while claiming the cheque.
Shocked by this Ms.Sharma got the details of the cheque and found that someone had opened an account in Union bank of India Anekal branch in her name and deposited the cheque to withdraw the amount.
Suspecting a deep rooted conspiracy,Ms.Sharma filed a complaint seeking a detailed inquiry into the incident and to stop the seizure of the bank account till the investigation is completed .
