KARACHI: Five private banks have been saved from facing financial fraud worth over Rs800 million following the prompt action of Malir’s Bin Qasim police, ARY News reported on Saturday.
Police officials have exposed the reality behind an alleged rice theft which could give a financial dent worth over Rs800 million to five private banks after providing finance against the pledge to the mill owner.
Senior Superintendent Police (SSP) Malir Irfan Bahadur told the media that the stocks of rice worth millions of rupees have been recovered. He detailed that a mill owner Nand Lal had acquired a pledge loan from five private banks against the stocks of rice stored in the go-down.
