27: Ep 27 - The Sethis wait and wait and wait

Investigating the Post Office Scandal

In 2002, Baljit and Anjana Sethi (pictured), were trusted Subpostmasters in Essex. They were was sacked by the Post Office over a £17,000 discrepancy in one of their branches' accounts. The Sethis had successfully run a Post Office branch for more than 20 years. Baljit told the Brentwood Gazette at the time it was not their fault, rather it was down the Post Office's Horizon IT system. In 2019 the Sethis were proved right. Baljit and Anjana have been fighting for compensation for more than two years. They have yet to be made an offer, despite applying to the Post Office's Historical Shortfall compensation scheme in 2020. Baljit and Anjana's son Adeep has taken up their fight, and he tells us everything on this episode of Investigating the Post Office Scandal.
