Double payment of money orders: NAB KP arrests former clerk of DIK post office

National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on Friday arrested Riaz Muhammad Rashid, former money order clerk of GPO DI Khan, on the charges of corruption in the payment of money orders. A complaint was received from Divisional Superintendent Postal Services, DI Khan Division against the accused. During investigation it was established that money orders paid at different sub post offices were again charged in the money orders paid list of DI Khan GPO.
That is double payment against each money order as original was paid to the recipient in the sub post offices while accused used to withdraw an equal amount for himself in the main office. Taking cognisance of the case NAB started investigation in June, 2014 and established that an amount of Rs 4897,920 was misappropriated by the accused in fake money orders payments. The NAB KP therefore arrested the accused and further investigation is under process. The accused was produced before the Accountability Court for obtaining his physical remand. The Accountability Court has granted 12 days physical remand to NAB.
