I work in a bank in India. A man came with a fake passbook and withdrawal slip, his signature almost matching the account holder’s. I paid him ₹30,000. The real account holder later filed a complaint. The fraudster returned to withdraw ₹45,000 and was caught. An FIR was filed, but the case is now in his favour. The judge didn’t look at the CCTV footage, and now I have to pay the money from my own pocket. What can I do?

You may be liable for negligence under Indian law, as you paid without proper verification. However, you can appeal the court’s decision and present evidence, including the CCTV footage, to prove you were misled. You should consult a lawyer specializing in banking fraud cases to understand your legal options and potential defenses.

My belongings were shipped from Jeddah to Hyderabad via Air Link cargo. The shipment was delayed for over 3 months, despite their promise of delivery within 15-20 days. I received only 49kg of my 64kg shipment, with 15kg missing. The carton was opened and repacked, and it was delivered to Bangalore before reaching Hyderabad. I shipped all my household items, including perfumes, watches, utensils, and some electronics, and the cargo company wrapped the carton themselves, assuring me of secure delivery. When I inquired about the delay, they cited customs issues in Bangalore. I’m worried about the missing items and the condition of my belongings. I paid a significant amount for the shipment. Can you advise me on how to file a complaint and claim compensation from Air Link cargo?
