Hold Salary: Framed For A Theft That Happened Before I Joined

I joined an MNC as a customer relationship executive through a third party organization. As per my appointment letter my job was serve the customer and sales. But my manager allocated the task to handle the stock and cash, which wasn't mentioned in my appointment letter. After few months my Manger let the job and a new Manager was appointed . During the appointment of the new manager, they conducted a stock audit and cash audit. They found that there was a shortage in stock and cash. It was not correct when I took the responsibility. And I don't have any proof to show stock was already less, before me joining the firm. Now they have stopped my salary. When I asked to my manager he said that, he can't help this issue. And my HR said that they can't help on this. What can I do now?
