According to a report in The National newspaper, the identity of the man has not been disclosed and in a recent judgment, the Dubai Criminal Court ordered him to pay the same amount as fine and to be deported after completing his sentence. In October 2021 in Dubai, UAE, a medical company mistakenly transferred 5.70 lakh dirhams (about Rs 1.28 crore) to the account of this Indian. The company official told the court that he was sending 5.70 lakh dirhams to one of his business customers, but the amount was mistakenly transferred to the accused person’s account.
Refused to refund
The Indian said that he told the court that he had received a notification about the money being transferred to his account but did not know where the money came from. He said, ‘I was surprised when I came to know that 5.70 lakh dirhams have been deposited in the account. I paid him rent and other expenses. A company asked me to refund the money but I refused. I do not know whether the company is speaking right or not.
The accused refused to return the amount to the bank despite being aware that the amount had been transferred by mistake. After this, the company complained about this at the Al Rafah Police Station. Dubai’s public prosecutor prosecuted him for illegally obtaining the amount. The bank account of the accused has been frozen. The accused has challenged the court’s decision and his appeal is expected to be heard next month.
