Dear Seniors,
The issue I have narrated before still persists. Recently, I called the HR of my past company to know the present status of F&F. They threatened me, insisting that I provide in writing that the fraud happened during my time and that it was communicated with my bosses. I explained that everything was communicated verbally and that I was asked by the bosses not to put it on paper or in emails. The HR reacted by saying, ""Ok, you don't know anything, right? Once we lodge an FIR, everything will come out." In reality, my resignation was accepted, and the handover-takeover was completed to the full satisfaction of my superiors. It seems that after my resignation, they have shifted the entire blame onto my shoulders.
Please help. My resignation acceptance email and handover-takeover email are with me. Can someone be held responsible for any wrongdoing after their last working day and the handover-takeover is done (along with 20 days of notice period, I had a notice period of 1 month, but 10 days were settled from PL).
Regards,

The previous bosses seem to harass you. Please read the thread "Ex-employer's false allegations" and posts of 3.4.2015. Engage a lawyer. Send the past employer a legal notice to desist from harassment and pay you full and final settlement. Otherwise, lodge a complaint with the inspector under the Shops and Establishment Act. Please state the main nature of duties you performed with previous bosses to see whether you are covered under the ID Act.

Dear Sushil sir,
This morning, I received a legal notice from my ex-employers. The strangest part is that they mentioned in the letter that I was responsible for business and operations at the same location simultaneously. Please note that this claim is baseless and untrue. The roles mentioned are distinct and cannot be carried out concurrently. Additionally, they stated that fraud was discovered and reported in September '14, whereas my last working day was on October 31 '14. Therefore, they were aware of the situation before my release.
Now, despite having prior knowledge of the alleged fraud, they released me and are now accusing me of it. They have threatened to prosecute me under IPC sections 420/425/415 if I do not assist in recovering the losses.

Sit with a competent lawyer, explain all the detailed facts to him, and send an appropriate reply through an advocate, levelling counter charges wherever possible. If you have done nothing wrong, then there is nothing to worry about because your clean relieving itself shows that no misconduct was found against you. Otherwise, they could have at least issued a memorandum against you.
