A resident of Bhaghwanpura, Salamat Bhatti, went to China for business purposes. Some members of the mafia broke into his house and called the back from landline phone to get his ATM number changed.
At least 11 lacs were withdrawn from Bhatti’s account in stages while the bank did not intimidate the account holder. Neither did it send any e-mail or confirmation call.
When Bhatti returned Pakistan and found out about the fraud, he contacted the police who did not facilitate him.
The resident then complained to the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). The FIA is now investigating into who was involved in the fraud and if the bank employees were a part of it. The details of the telephone call made from the house are also being gathered to reach the mafia.
