Retired Punjab police constable finds over Rs555m in bank account

FAISALABAD: A retired Punjab police constable found more than Rs555 million in his bank account, he said on Wednesday, expressing bewilderment at the amount.

The retired constable, Arshad Mehmood, said he found Rs555,300,000 in his account when he checked the balance. "My pension is Rs25,000 per month, so I have no idea where the sum of millions of rupees came from?

"I only got to know about this huge sum of money when I checked the balance in my bank account through the ATM [automated teller machine]," Mehmood said.

The constable said he immediately informed the bank about his concern.

"The bank's management has withdrawn the additional money from my account," he added.
