Alleged Fake Bills and Lakhs in Payments Surface in 50+ Shamli Shops' Names

A case involving payments worth lakhs of rupees in the names of shopkeepers, who allegedly had no knowledge of them, has come to light in Shamli. Even after several days have passed, no action has been reported in the matter.

Allegedly fake bills were prepared in the names of more than 50 medical stores and stationery shops by using the seal of the Central Storehouse, Shamli. The names of the shops, along with their mobile numbers, were also recorded on these bills.

The matter has caused concern among traders after the alleged bills and payments came to light. The shopkeepers and traders whose names were used are now awaiting clarity on how the bills were prepared and how the payments were processed.

Shamli Chemist Association district president Devraj Malik had informed the officials about the matter. Following this, the District Magistrate, taking note of the seriousness of the issue, handed over the investigation to Shamli Sub-Divisional Magistrate Sachin Rajput.

The investigation is expected to establish who prepared the alleged fake bills and at what level the payments were made through them. The findings will also determine the responsibility of those involved in the process.

However, despite directions for an investigation, several days have passed and no action has so far come to light. This has led to anger among the concerned shopkeepers and traders.

Officials have said that anyone found guilty in the investigation will face action as per the rules. The traders are now waiting for the inquiry to be completed and for action to be taken against those found responsible in the case.
