Fraud
There was a large fraud in company Rakesh was very tense regarding it. The meeting of all directors were called. The fraud had came out just because of timely audit.If it was not found on time,company should have suffered from large losses.After this incidence everyone was tense.They all wanted to locate the culprit.But it was not easy task.Many employees had equal opportunities to do the theft so it was their task now to search for real culprit and relieve innocent people away from suspicion.There was a committee form by directors to find the culprit and Rakesh was head of that committee.He was tense that may be he locate a wrong person and it will lead to many problems. When he entered the room, they started the meeting. There were five suspects and they had to locate real culprit. They all began to discuss issue. There were many heated discussion happened between them. But they were not reaching to any decision. Then Rakesh suggested "I think we can interview each of the suspects. Many times body language tell those things which evidence don't tell." All of them were very pleased with the idea. Every one wanted to meet the person personally before placing the blame so they decided that from tomorrow.They would call all candidates.
Each one was noticed properly first one was an elderly person. He had already brought his all passbooks and other clear proofs because of which he was cleared immediately. That put them without one less suspect. Next one was looked fearless. They all could see truth in his eyes. He was ready to do anything. They asked him about. He was even suggested lie detector test so they were forced to cut his out of suspect list.The third one didn't have enough chance to do the fraud because his authorities were very limited.Then only two persons were remaining one of them didn't come claiming sick leave.One of the committee member Mr.Mane "I think there is no need of further discussion.The one who ran away must be thief.""How can you be so sure that he had run away? May be he is really sick?""Come on. Don't tell me.You really believe him.I don't believe in this type of coincidences." After that all the members started giving their opinions.The room turned into a fish market. Rakesh wanted to stop them.But some of the members were his seniors and he couldn't scream on them. But they all were acting like a school children. Rakesh finally decided to stop them and he said loudly. "First we had to interview the person who was available.Then we can think about other. Is it fine with everyone?" Mr.Mane"But if the culprit is found already..."Rakesh "I don't think we have found anyone. I think we must need concrete evidence before calling anyone criminal.I think we can conduct this interview after 10 days by that time the person will get well.""Trust me sir. We are unnecessarily wasting our time.We can just tell board that he is guilty." Now Rakesh was very angry."Mr Sharma you can't play with someones life.I made it clear what are my orders? and you have to obey them.""Sorry sir.""It's okay.You are free to say whatever you want. But final decision will always be mine.So it is decided after 10 days same place same time."Everyone said "yes sir."But Rakesh could feel that some of them were unhappy with him.But we couldn't make everyone happy.He hoped that for whom he fought would be worth it.
After attending this meeting Rakesh decided to personally investigate the suspects.When he put detective on suspects. The detective provided him with proper details in which he could clearly saw that the other fellow was guilty. The absent one was completely innocent. Rakesh was very relieved because now he had concrete evidence.When meeting was started he was very confident. But he received the shock when he saw that Mr.Sam was absent and the culprit was happily sitting there. Mr Mane" So sir, I don't think further evidence is needed. Since Mr.Sam is absent. I think it is enough evidence to prove him guilty."Now Rakesh was in very problematic situation. He was planning to play saviour for Mr. Sam .But Mr. Sam was absent and he was in biggest problem. He must put the real culprit before everyone for sake of company. If Mr.Sam was present, it was easy for him.Now it became hard for him. But he decided to speak for this company. Rakesh " I had looked in the matter so I put on a detective for it. " Everyone was shocked to hear it. One of the member "And who is going to bear his expenses?I hope not company.""Of course not.It was from my personal account and I am putting it before committee for sake of a company. Not for individual."After saying it he looked at Mr.Mane and gave the report to him. Mr.Mane was shocked to see it.Mr.Mane"I can't believe it.I say this fellow sitting before me.Going to jail." Rakesh"I think suspension is enough.But let board of director decide it." They all agreed because of clear evidence and the matter of fraud is finished.
But when they came outside Mr.Mane started talking about Mr.Sam"This Sam is strange fellow.""What did he do to you? brought failure on your judgement by being innocent!!""Come on.You know me very well.You can't think I am such mean."RakeshRakesh also decided to look in this matter seriously."What happened?""Yesterday I saw this fellow in movie theater. He was watching movie alone. He was looking very tense. But he was still trying to concentrate on film. I just don't understand if he was innocent.Why did he act like this? When I phoned him.He clearly told me that he was in office. He was thinking that I am his brother.Why was he lying to his brother?" Now Rakesh was equally confused.He was also curious about this man Mr.Sam.Rakesh"I think we must forced this person to come before committee.Why is he avoiding us?"Mane was already of the same opinion.
Next day they ordered to call Sam.Before committee but Sam was not in office.They slowly became convinced that Sam must be involved in some kind of fraud.They decided to check every details of his work.They checked everything and noticed that Sam was an good employee.But he was with them for 6 months only.Before that he changed approximately 11 companies.In some companies he stayed just for few days.Rakesh decided to phone such a companies. Rakesh"Hello, I am Rakesh from XYZ Company.I like to talk about Sam.""Sam how can I forget him? He just ran away one day before presentation.I have to handle that presentation.That person worked hard for many days on presentation.But on day of presenting it he just vanished.You know he was looking like a promising employee.""Just before presentation?""Yes." After that Rakesh phoned the company where he worked for maximum period. They all were just missing Sam.He was their gem in their eyes."He worked so hard.We were about to present him with the prize.But he just didn't come to prize distribution." After some phone calls it became clear to them that when ever there was any need to come before people he just ran away from the place. Mane"I just don't understand,why this person acting like this?"Rakesh"I think we must talk to him personally."" Good decision."
After some days Sam finally came to the office.When he entered the office,they could see that he was sweating already. They tried to act friendly with him.But he didn't cooperate.Finally Rakesh went straight to the point.Rakesh"Sam you can't always run from public like this.Some times for a post presentation was necessary by acting like this.You are spoiling your career by acting like this." Sam sat quietly and listened to everything.But after sometime Rakesh Started getting feeling that he was talking to just walls.Slowly he got angry and began to insult Sam.Sam looked more frightened.Finally Mane interfered and ended the interview. Mane"I think talking to him is useless.May be we should talk to his brother?""Good idea?Will you please call him?I am tried after hitting my head on rock called Sam." After hearing Rakesh Mane started laughing ."But I thought Rakesh you are the one who was going to hit him." Then Mane called to his brother.His brother was very willing to come. Finally his brother came.Brother"This Sam has become a big problem for family.He never remain stick to one job.I just don't understand the reason.""He was afraid of public appearance and in every job some public speaking is necessary.""What?Oh my god!I thought he must have got over that childhood incident.""What incident?""When we were children,some child did a prank on Sam.They pushed him on stage on annual function and he was so scared. He couldn't even able to stand their properly and all children made fun of it.In all school days that teasing followed him.Our teacher punished those children.But Sam still suffer from problems because of the incidence."Rakesh"You can't expect problem to go away like this.He must be suffering social phobia. He must start sweating..""Sweating last time he latterly fainted." "I will give you doctor's number.You can take him to doctor.Try to tell him running away like this will not solve his problem.It will increase it.""Thanks" After that many days they were not in touch with Sam.But one day Sam entered in Rakesh's cabin. He was looking very happy and confident.Sam"Sir take this sweets.I am promoted.It happened just because of you.You are like a god to me.That doctor really cured me."After that he continued telling his story and Rakesh was trying hard to hide his yawning and showing false enthusiasm.
