Beggar’s Account Fraud Case: Former Bank Manager Granted Bail in Rs 1 Million

HYDERABAD – The Sindh High Court has granted bail to a former branch manager of a private bank in a fraud case involving Rs 1 million, which was transferred from a beggar’s account. The court noted that even a beggar’s account was not spared in the fraud, and questioned the lack of a complaint from the beggar regarding the misuse of his mobile phone or SIM.

The defense lawyer argued that the accused did not directly receive the money, but instead provided customer details, and the funds were transferred to a woman’s account. The complainant stated that the bank provided customer information to an insurance company, raising concerns about the leak of sensitive data.

The court further inquired whether leaking such information constituted fraud under the law, and after deliberations, granted the bank manager bail. The court ordered him to submit surety bonds worth Rs 200,000.
