Hi,

You can directly file complaint before the concerned department where the said persons are working.So that the departmental inquiry can be initiated against them and then if they are found to be violated any norms ad forged documents, steps as per legal provisions can be taken under different charges.

In case you feel that the complaint with their department will not stand you can also directly file a complaint before the police showing the information you have.

Regarding avoiding the Income Tax , any time a letter to the Income Tax department will initiate an inquiry by the department.

Both the offences of forgery cheating a swell s income Tax violation will be tried separately and legal proceedings can be initiated against them accordingly.

First of all to get the details of their profile status at work and regarding the leave etc. you can try an RTI application in the concerned department.

if the pension they are getting is in their father's account , this can be justified.

All the allegations as you have narrated , if they can be proved the said persons are going to be in real trouble.

at the end of the day when you initiate a legal steps against any one , you need to clarify your locus standi as a complainant whether you are an aggrieved person or victim or a whistle blower who intends social welfare of the society.
