A shocking case has come to light in the United Arab Emirates. Here about 1.28 crore rupees came into the account of an Indian person by mistake. After this he had to go to jail. Let us first explain to you the whole matter, what happened after all? In October 2021, a medical trading company mistakenly received AED 570,000 in the account of this Indian man, which is approximately 1.28 crores in Indian rupees. Actually, such a mistake happened because of two similar account numbers.

The National newspaper reported that a company official told judges that the medical trading company intended to transfer AED 570,000 to a business client, but mistakenly sent it to the wrong person. When the matter came to light and the person concerned was arrested, the Dubai Criminal Court asked the accused to pay the same amount as fine. Although he did not do so. When questioned by the authorities, he said, “I was shocked when AED 570,000 was deposited in my bank account. I immediately paid my rent and met other expenses.”

When the person refused to return the money, the company reported the incident to Dubai’s Al Rafah Police Station. At the same time, the bank immediately froze his account, but the money was not returned. It is not known whether the accused had withdrawn the money from his account and deposited it elsewhere or not. It has been said in the report that the Dubai Public Prosecution has accused him of receiving money illegally.
