Handwara, Feb 20 : Jammu and Kashmir police have registered a case against an individual for ‘fraudulently’ withdrawing Rupees fifty thousand from an account of a person, working in abroad having all credentials confined to his family only.
According to wire service—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), an amount of Rupees fifty thousand were withdrawn from an account of Sajad Ahmad Zargar, a resident of Handwara, who is working in Saudi Arabia for over six years.
Ifthikhar Zargar, brother of the account holder told KNO that “on Saturday, we received a text message from Jammu and Kashmir Bank reading that ‘an amount of fifty thousand rupees has been deducted from your account’.”
Soon after receiving the text, he said that they rushed to main branch of JK Bank Handwara to ascertain the details. “The bank authorities assured us that an amount withdrawn from the account will be transferred back into the account in a day or two. But, the question remains that how can any individual be able to withdraw the amount from any ones account without the proper documents,” he said.
He further said that they have approached the local police in this regard and have requested them to probe the whole matter and take action against the involved person at the earliest.
A police official when contacted told KNO that “we have registered a case under number 20/2020 under relevant sections in this regard and an investigation has been initiated. Hopefully, we will crack the case soon.”
