The Supreme Court has denied anticipatory bail to the directors of M/s Euro Prateek Industry involved in forging signatures of prominent businessmen Harnit Singh Lamba and Surendra Saluja, leading to their wrongful removal from directorial positions and financial misappropriation amounting to billions. The case was registered under section 420 among other charges by the police stations of Katni Kotwali and Madhavnagar.
Harnit Singh Lamba revealed that he and Surendra Saluja had initially invested millions in M/s Euro Prateek Industry, based in Hargadh, Sihora, and were appointed directors. Initially, operations were smooth, but issues began when several company members started selling iron ore without their consent, leading to significant financial discrepancies.
On discovering the malpractices, Lamba opposed the actions, which led to the execution of forged documents by some conspirators within the company, eventually leading to their expulsion from the directorship and the illegal liquidation of the company’s fixed deposits.
Surendra Saluja reported that following the fraudulent activities, a complaint was lodged against three directors and a secretary—Himanshu Shrivastava, Sunil Agrawal, Sanmati Jain, and Lachi Mittal. Despite the accused seeking bail from the lower courts to the Supreme Court, their petitions were dismissed. The mastermind behind these activities is alleged to be Mahendra Goyanka of Raipur, as per police investigations.
