Karachi welder finds he owns property in Dubai

KARACHI: A Karachi-based welder on Thursday was amazed to learn that there was property registered under his name in Dubai. ARY NEWS reported.

According to details, Imran, a welder by profession, come to know about the property he allegedly holds in Dubai after the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) issued him a notice at his residence.

“I’m a poor man, haven’t even seen the whole of Karachi.” said Imran, a resident of Nishtar Road, area of the city.

The welder living in a small, “kutcha” house said, If he was unable to make a proper home here in Karachi, how is it possible to own property in Dubai?”

Imran has appealed to Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar to take notice of the matter and provide him justice.

A row of cases have been reported over the past couple of months wherein weird monetary discrepancies and fake accounts surfaced and scores of people belonging to lower and middle-class found that they had millions of rupees in their bank accounts.

Back in September, a cart vendor selling falooda received the shock of his life when he found that he has more than two billion rupees in a bank account in his name.

Abdul Qadir, who lives in a small house in an impoverished neighbourhood in Orangi Town, never knew he had a bank account in his name, doesn’t know how to open a bank account, and had no knowledge of the huge amount of money deposited in an account in his name.

“I don’t know who opened this bank account in my name before FIA summoned me and told me that I have Rs 2.25 billion in a bank account in my name, I told them I don’t even know who signed those documents in my name as I don’t even know English,” said Abdul Qadir.

The poor cart vendor said he once worked on a public call office and the owner demanded him to submit his NIC, which he suspected may have been used it to open the bank account.
