[BR staff reporter regrets that he was misinformed about the incident by DSP, Meethadar Police Station, Raza Husain. The incident had taken place at Dawood Islamic Bank and not at Soneri Bank, and an FIR was registered at the police station on a complaint lodged by Branch Manager, Dawood Islamic Bank, Masood, on the advice of Brigadier Asif Alvi (retd), Head of Admin and Fraud Control, Dawood Islamic Bank. The inadvertent mistake is deeply regretted.-PR
