A major fraud case has emerged in Tandlianwala, where the manager of Habib Bank Limited (HBL) is accused of stealing Rs1.2 crore from a woman’s account.
The victim said in a video statement that she had been a customer at HBL for over six years, and the money her late father left for her siblings was missing. She accused the branch manager, Abubakar, of taking the funds without permission, forging cheque records, and skipping required call-back confirmations.
For months, the manager allegedly misled her with fake balance details. Later, he admitted in text messages — screenshots of which she shared — that he moved the money to another account. He reportedly offered Rs10 million as settlement, while the woman claimed she also received threats.
She added that HBL’s internal inquiry confirmed her signatures were forged and no call-back checks were done, even for transactions worth millions.
Despite complaints to the FIA, Federal Ombudsman, and police, no action has been taken. The woman appealed to higher authorities, including Maryam Nawaz, for justice.
HBL has not yet issued a statement, as the case raises serious concerns about the country’s largest bank.
