than Rs.8 lakhs was taken by Mr. P. K. Chauhan by encashing the cheques after putting the amount, name and date in the cheques in one go. Even prior to that, he had encashed several blank cheques, which I had given to him after putting the name, date and amount. Since I did not have the money initially, these cheques were given to him as security. Apart from this, I received the amount of Rs.3 lakhs in my account from Falcon factory, which was also in the name of my husband. Out of the said amount of Rs.3 lakhs, Mr. P. K. Chauhan took Rs.1.5 lakhs by presenting and encashing cheques. The total amount of Rs.16,25,000/has been taken by Mr. P. K. Chauhan in this manner by filling the details in all the cheques and encashing the said amounts. I had agreed to pay his fee, but however, when the cheques started getting encashed, I asked for return of the cheques. At the time of payment to the Local Commissioner also, I did not have any money. The Local Commissioner was appointed on 19th November, 2018 and a sum of Rs.37,500/- was to be paid to the Commissioner. Mr. P. K. Chauhan took the amount of Rs.50,000/- from me and then credited my account with Rs.37,500/- for paying the Local Commissioner. I can produce my bank statements in support of the statement made by me above. I have made this statement voluntarily without any force or coercion.”
