Pak student becomes instant millionaire

A Pakistan student found out he had become an instant millionaire after authorities discovered Rs 170 million stashed in a bank account under his name.

The students, whose name was withheld by police, said he was completely unaware of the incident and only got to know about it after the Federal Investigation Agency ( FIA) summoned him.

The joint investigation team said they had summoned the operator of the account bearing the student’s name.

On September 29, FIA informed a street side vendor identified as Abdul Qadir about presence of Rs 2 billion cash in his account.

Mr Qadir — who was left flabbergasted by FIA’s unforeseen disclosure — stated that he did not know how such a big amount was transferred in his account.

Mr Qadir — who lives in a house comprising area of just 40 feet — stated he came to know about presence of Rs 2 billion through a letter penned by FIA. FIA later traced the culprit — identified as Shabir Bobmat — a property dealer by occupation.
