Dear Client,
To resolve the problem of another person using your account and making unauthorized credit transactions, the correct step is to report to the cybercrime unit, explaining cases of unauthorized account use and fraudulent activities by your employee. This will also assist in negating your responsibility in the transactions and revealing the fact that the account was compromised. Afterward, go to your bank to recount the story and present some proof of the unauthorized use, asking for your account to be unfrozen and assuring them that you had no hand in the doings of your employee. Depending on the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Section 316 relates to cheating, (previously, Indian Penal Code (IPC) Section 420) and Section 66 deals with computer related offences under Information Technology Act 2000, you may be able to prosecute the employee for fraud.
Further, assemble all the documents which include communication between you and the employee involved, bank statements, and other reports made to the unit concerning cybercrime. It is advisable to get legal services from a lawyer who is conversant with financial fraud and cybercriminal activities on how to handle the case and your rights protected.
Hope this advice is useful in resolving the dispute.
