A case has been registered against an accountant here for withdrawing lakhs of rupees by forging signatures, police said today.
According to police, the owner of a Sector 25-based private firm here has complained that one Giriraj, who used to be an accountant in the company, had cheated him to the tune of Rs 6,50,000.
In his complaint, Sitaram Sharma has said that the accused, who hails from Palwal, had worked for four years as an accountant in his company.
