My husband gave a cheque to a friend last year. He just found out that the friend’s account had no money! He got a bank statement to prove it and warned my husband. I’m really worried – what should we do?

You should immediately report this to the police and file an FIR (First Information Report). You can also file a complaint with the bank and request a stop payment on the cheque. The bank will likely ask for proof of the non-existent account and a copy of the FIR.
