A Sindh High Court (SHC) judge expressed astonishment after discovering a transaction of Rs1 million credited to a beggar’s bank account in Hyderabad.
The court was hearing a case involving a bank manager accused of facilitating the transaction. Granting him bail, the judge questioned the unusual existence of a beggar’s account with such a significant deposit, remarking, “You don’t even spare beggars—have you opened an account for a beggar with a staggering deposit?”
During the hearing, the court sought clarification on whether the accused manager had received any portion of the amount and how much money was currently in his account.
The defense counsel argued that the bank manager had no involvement in the fraudulent transfer. He explained that the Rs1 million was credited to the account of a woman named Ayesha, allegedly using the mobile number of another suspect, Zeeshan, as part of the fraud.
The defense added that the bank manager’s role was limited to sharing the beggar’s account details with an insurance company. The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) is actively investigating the case and interrogating other suspects.
The incident has raised questions about accountability and the misuse of financial systems for fraudulent activities.
