Since you have not objected to it and within 2 months you must have signed some documents as whole time director then you are liable for it. Now, you can place papers before the police that you have been made as HD from such and such date by showing the resolution and while making you WD no consent was taken which is a must for filing with ROC. without consent you cannot be held responsible. If the fraud is committed prior to your appointment then you can bring this before the Police Officers.
