Ludhiana Woman Alleges Post Office Agent Defrauded Her of Rs 15 Lakh Savings
A 65-year-old woman from Ludhiana alleges that a post office agent, Roshan Lal Kalra, cheated her of Rs 15 lakh by collecting monthly recurring deposit instalments from 1998 to 2012 without depositing them into her account. After moving to Canada in 2012, she trusted the agent's assurances but later discovered no account existed in her name. Upon returning to India in 2025, she filed a complaint, leading Daresi police to register a case against Kalra for criminal breach of trust and cheating.
