Chandigarh Police has arrested former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag’s brother. Virender Sehwag’s brother Vinod Sehwag has been arrested by Chandigarh Police’s PO Cell team. According to the information, police has arrested him in a case of cheque bounce. Police presented accused Vinod Sehwag in court, where a bail plea was filed by his advocate on the spot. However, police opposed the bail plea of the accused. The decision in this case is yet to come.
A cheque bounce case of Rs 7 crore is going on against former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag’s brother Vinod Sehwag in Chandigarh District Court. This case has been filed by Baddi based company Shree Naina Plastic against Delhi based Jalta Food and Beverages and its three directors Vinod Sehwag, Vishnu Mittal and Sudhir Malhotra. In the case, last year, the lower court had summoned Vinod Sehwag and the three directors to appear in court as accused. But now he has filed a revision petition in the sessions court against the court’s summoning order. Sehwag’s brother said that the decision to make him an accused is wrong. He is neither a director nor an employee in this company. He also has no role in the day to day affairs of the company.
Vikas Sagar, the lawyer of Shri Naina Plastic Company, told that Jalta Company had ordered his company to supply some material. This material was worth about Rs 7 crore. In lieu of this, Jalta Company gave 7 bank cheques of Rs 1 crore each to the complainant company in June 2018. But when the complainant company deposited these cheques in the account, they bounced due to lack of funds. The complainant company informed Jalta Company. But after two months, when the cheques were not cleared, a legal notice was given against the company and directors and a demand was made to make the payment within 15 days. Even after the legal notice, when the company did not make the payment, he filed a case of cheque bounce.
Sehwag’s brother had taken bail. Earlier, the lower court had summoned the three accused including Vinod Sehwag to appear as accused, but despite this they did not reach the court. On this, the court issued their bailable and then non-bailable warrant of arrest. Even after this, when they did not reach the court, the process of declaring them fugitive (PO proceedings) was started against them. Then on 22 July 2019, Vinod Sehwag reached the court and he was granted bail on a surety of Rs 2 lakh. After this, he challenged the summoning order in the sessions court in October 2019.
