A US client sent an IP phone, bought with his own money, to Amar, who had filed a police complaint (FIR). Bharat and Charan then joined Amar’s work. After a year, the client decided to work directly with Bharat and Charan. Without telling Amar, they took the IP phone and started their own venture. A few weeks later, Amar filed another FIR against Bharat and Charan. Now Bharat and Charan have received calls from the police. What should they do?
Best Answer
Bharat and Charan should cooperate with the police and provide evidence to explain the situation. They should demonstrate the client’s consent and the phone’s use in their new venture. However, they need to be aware that taking the IP phone without informing Amar and potentially causing financial loss could be considered theft under Indian law.
