Parul Gulati alleges fraud of Rs 8 lakh at Nish hair store in Bengaluru, says one accused employee absconding
Parul shared a video on Instagram detailing the incident, captioning the clip as, “Bangalore, you did me dirty.” He also posted photographs of the two accused employees and explained how he became suspicious after noticing anomalies in the operation of the store.
“I was trying to figure out what was wrong because I knew there was an anomaly,” she said in the video, adding that although she felt something was wrong, she was initially unable to identify the exact problem.
According to Parul, the alleged fraud came to light when she visited their Bengaluru outlet unannounced. She revealed that the sales executive, who had access to the store’s CCTV cameras, unexpectedly fell ill on the day of her surprise inspection, while the store manager reported to work as usual.
During interrogation, the manager allegedly admitted to committing the fraud soon after joining the company. Recalling the conversation, Parul said, “He simply said, ‘I started a month after joining the job.'” She added that it appeared he had spent his first month understanding the business before allegedly perpetrating the scam.
The actress further alleged that the two employees used to sell Nish Hair products worth between Rs 15,000 and Rs 20,000 every day and instructed customers to transfer the money to their personal bank accounts instead of the company’s official account.
“They sold my product, my packaging, to the customer through my name and then took the entire amount for themselves. So they stole from me, and from the customers as well,” he said.
Parul claimed that the alleged misappropriation continued for about six months, resulting in missing inventory and financial discrepancies. In the caption accompanying her video, she said she currently only has six months’ worth of evidence of the alleged fraud.
She wrote, “I have been scammed and I only have 6 months of proof. I don’t know what to do, but all I can do is request that these two should never be employed.”
Revealing the extent of the alleged financial loss, Parul said, “The boy himself has told me, ‘I didn’t make more than 8L,’ and the girl is still on the run.”
She also expressed little hope of getting the money back, writing, “I doubt very much whether I’ll ever get my money back, but these two did me dirty, and they deserve to never get a job anywhere.”
Apart from sharing her experience, Parul also gave a message of caution to customers shopping at the Bengaluru outlet. He advised anyone who transferred funds directly to the accused employees rather than through an official company account to carefully verify their transactions, as they too could have been affected by the alleged fraud.
Urging customers to remain cautious, he requested buyers to always insist on the bill and confirm payment details before completing any purchase.
