UHey everyone, I hope you’re doing well.
We are in a very difficult and unimaginable situation right now. A couple of days ago, my father sold a property and received 50% of the payment in cash and 50% via cheque. My father owns an office, and he believed he had stored the 50% cash in his locker while handing over the cheque to my brother.
Due to some past issues between my father and my brother, my brother went to the office, opened the locker, and took the entire 50% cash—essentially half of my father’s life savings. On top of that, the cheque has also been submitted to the bank and is expected to be deposited by Monday.
This means my father’s entire life savings are now in my brother’s possession. What makes matters worse is that my brother has now left, and we have no idea where he is. He called some relatives and informed them that he no longer wants any connection with us.
We are at a complete loss as to what to do. Relatives are advising us to file an FIR, but this is an extremely emotional and difficult decision. Should we proceed with it, or is there another solution we haven’t considered?
Our biggest concern right now is the cheque. Since the account is in my brother’s name, once the money is deposited, we might not be able to recover it. However, we never expected something like this to happen, which is why we trusted him with the cheque.
Is there any way to stop the cheque from being deposited before Monday? If it does get deposited, even though the account is under his name, is there a legal way to prove that he had no right to take the money?
We also have CCTV footage of him entering the office, opening the safe, and taking all the money. Could this help in any way?
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We are trying everything we can but are completely lost at this point.
Thank you for your help.

DLog into NetBanking and stop payment of the cheque and file FIR for theft. If the matter gets resolved amicably, you can take the FIR back. Most likely it won’t be easy to FIR too so do not waste time because he may even move to another country with this money.
