A company in Hyderabad found out that one of its employees, Syed Salahuddin Ahmed, and his associates, including Syed Jalal, took money from the company's customers and put it into their own accounts.
The company's boss, Mohammed Zubair Osmani, reported this to the police.
The police are now trying to find the people involved and figure out how much money was actually taken.
