By Udumula Sudhakar Reddy
The city-based Truth Labs has helped Bollywood star Sridevi and her producer husband Boney Kapoor in solving their case. They have approached Hyderabad private forensic lab in alleged cheque forgery case. The forensics lab has proved that their signatures on Rs 10 crore cheque were forged and did not belong to the film personalities.Sridevi was dragged to the court by a financier who alleged that her Rs 10-crore cheque had bounced on being presented in a bank. She had then filed a counter-complaint with the Juhu police alleging that her signatures were forged.The cheques were sent to the Truth Labs for verification. Mr K.P.C. Gandhi of Truth Labs said, “A famous Bollywood actor, who has acted in nearly 150 films, had reported her cheque book stolen. Several cheques were forged causing a loss to the tune of more than Rs 10 crore.”“These cheques were issued to film production companies. The cheques were brought from Mumbai by a representative of the actor. We gave the report in two days and the money was recovered after identifying the forger,” Mr Gandhi said.Talking of another case, Mr Gandhi said that a Bengaluru-based flying institute had forged the signature of the Karnataka governor to gain favours. That forgery was detected within a week.
