Parul Gulati Accuses Two Bengaluru Store Employees of ₹8 Lakh Theft

An Instagram disclosure alleging diversion of customer payments into personal accounts has prompted a police inquiry.

Overview

  • Gulati said Thursday she discovered inventory shortfalls and accounting gaps and made an unannounced visit to her Nish Hair Bengaluru outlet to question staff.
  • She posted a video and photos naming a store manager and a sales executive and says they sold products while asking customers to transfer payments into their personal bank accounts.
  • Gulati says the manager admitted to taking about ₹8 lakh over roughly six months and that the sales executive who controlled CCTV access is currently reported to be absconding.
  • She spent a day at a police station, warned customers to check bills and payment details, and urged anyone who paid the employees directly to verify their transactions.
  • The episode highlights weak retail controls — staff access to CCTV, off‑record bank transfers, and lack of daily reconciliation — that investigators will likely examine as they seek recovery and accountability.
