MUMBAI: A woman employed as an executive with an international online shopping giant has been booked for allegedly siphoning off Rs35.88 lakhs by submitting fake invoices of different eateries and hotels. The Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) police registered a first information report (FIR) against Sujitha Lambthure (34), a Worli resident, for committing fraud between 2017 and 2022. Police are yet to arrest Lambthure who had resigned from work in September 2022.
The company's legal team filed the complaint against Lambthure after an internal probe pointed out the fraud that she had committed after she submitted fake invoices of restaurants in their internal audit. She was employed with the company as an executive assistant (process) from September 2017 to September 2022. "The case has been registered recently after a written complaint was filed by the company on August 7 this year. Action will be initiated soon," said a police officer of the BKC police station.
