New Delhi: A Delhi-based businesswoman has accused her husband of cheating and forging her signature to usurp her shares from their business venture. The victim, Pooja Tewari, has filed a legal suit in this respect with the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) against her husband, Umang Tewari, who owns Big Fish Hospitality Ventures Pvt Ltd.

In her petition filed through her counsel Geeta Luthra, she has alleged that her husband hatched a conspiracy with her father Ramesh Tewari and brother Rajan Tewari. They removed her illegally from the post of director of the company by forging her signature on a fraudulent, undated resignation letter without holding any board meeting.

Prateek Yadav, who was representing her before NCLT, said that even her digital signature was misused by her husband to remove her from the director’s post. She was later made the additional director of the company.

Ms Tewari’s plea read that her husband, father, and brother allegedly forged her signature and she has demanded that legal action be taken against them.
