In a recent development of SD Infosys
or Sementic IT defaulter case, Delhi based channel association,
href="https://www.dqweek.com/pcait-to-institute-two-new-awards">PCAIT
has filed a complaint with Economic Offence Wing (EOW) of Delhi
Police on October 19, 2011. Though, it took almost 5 months to
register a case due to lengthy verification process and gathering of
accurate information against Delhi based SD Infosys or Sementic IT,
owned and managed in the name of HC Chawla as the sole proprietor.
The incident came into light in April
2011, since then the defaulter Manish Chawla, son of HC Chawla and
director of Sementic IT along with
his family members were absconding. As per PCAIT, non-bailable arrest
warrant is also pending against them. Speaking more on this
development, V Krishnan, executive secretary, PCAIT said, “On
behalf of written complaints received from 7 affected partners and
members of the association, PCAIT fi led a complaint for defrauding
our members to the tune of Rs 5.43 crore against the Chawla family,
who have committed offences of criminal breach of trust (Sec 406 of
IPC), cheating (Sec 420 of IPC) and criminal conspiracy.” Krishnan
further added, “The quantum of swindled amount in this fraud case
might go up as most of the affected members and non members are still
not willing to co-operate. Even among the members, they neither want
to divulge the details to PCAIT nor want to go to
EOW through PCAIT.”
When asked, why it took so long to
respond, Krishnan mentioned, “The reason was, verifcation had to be
done if others had also filed
cases against the same fraudsters. Strangely no other affected
members seem to have filed any complaint with the EOW though the
amount lost by them are even bigger than some of the members on whose
representation PCAIT has filed the complaint. PCAIT is deeply
committed to bringing fraudsters to justice and also ensure that
frauds are prevented before being committed.”
PCAIT hopes to succeed in setting right
this drawback as early as possible by imparting necessary trainings
to members, like how and what to share and how to take precautionary
steps against frauds.
