**The Story**
The Bandra Police have registered a case against the general manager of actor Jibraan Khan’s cafe for allegedly embezzling nearly ₹34 lakh. The accused, Ajay Singh Rawat, has been working at the establishment since 2022. His responsibilities included managing daily cash and online payments, depositing cash into the cafe’s bank account, and settling payments with various vendors supplying goods to the outlet.
**Discovery of Fraud**
The alleged embezzlement came to light on September 19 when another staff member, Pramod, informed Khan that payments to vendors had not been made. Rawat was on leave at the time, and Khan initially waited for his return from his hometown. However, upon questioning Rawat on September 22, he reportedly gave vague responses, which raised suspicion of irregularities.
**Audit Initiated**
Suspecting financial discrepancies, Khan requested his chartered accountant to conduct an audit of the cafe’s finances for the fiscal year April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025. The audit revealed that although the cafe recorded a business turnover of ₹1.14 crore, only ₹79.67 lakh had been deposited into the bank. This discrepancy of ₹34 lakh is believed to have been embezzled by Rawat.
**Legal Action**
Khan informed the investigators that Rawat had misappropriated funds between April and September of this year. Following Khan’s complaint, the Bandra Police registered a case against Rawat under Section 316(4) (cheating) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). A police official stated, “We are verifying the transactions and ascertaining the veracity of the allegations.” The case is currently under investigation.
