Mystery cash in UP students’ accounts
Tags:
Huge amounts of money deposited in the accounts of some Class 12 students at Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama in Lucknow has worried the UP police.
According to a report lodged with the police by one Zulkarnain Haider, one of his classmates, Mohammed Ahmad, resident of Jaunpur, took his account number and ATM card on the pretext that he wanted to get some money from his house.
Haider, whose account had merely Rs 100, readily gave his bank details and ATM card to his classmate. Mohammed Ahmad returned the ATM card to Haider and the boys left for vacations after their exams.
During his vacations, Haider went to the bank to get his passbook updated and was shocked to find that Rs 1,62,800 had been deposited and withdrawn from his account. The dates matched those when his ATM card was with Ahmad.
When he returned to the institution, Haider questioned Ahmad but the latter avoided talking to him. Later, Haider discovered that about half a dozen more students had been “used” in a similar manner by Ahmad.
The other students in whose accounts money was deposited and then withdrawn are Abdul Kawi (Rs 95,000), Saha (Rs 55,000), Rashid (Rs 92,000), Sakhrul Islam (Rs 50,000), Mohammed Saha (Rs 35,000) and Munnawwar Hasan (Rs 50,000).
Further investigations revealed that the money had been deposited into these accounts from Jammu and Kashmir, Assam, Maharashtra, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. The students first lodged a complaint with the Nadwa management that expelled Ahmad.
