How Ghotki’s Launderer Suddenly Became a Billionaire?

GHOTKI: The endeavor to get a better living has been a part of human nature probably since the origination of the human race. Some try their luck buying lotteries and bonds while others believe in the consistency of hard work to get wealthy.

However, in a developing country like Pakistan, one can be rich without having to do any of the above but also remaining in the dark about it.

Such is the case when a launderer from a small village of Waloo Mehar near Mirpur Mathelo in Ghotki district of Sindh came to know that transactions of billions of rupees had been carried out from his bank account which he no further uses.

Ramesh Kumar was left shocked to learn about it when the tax authorities served him a notice.

It was only through this notice that he learnt that a whopping Rs 12.78 billons have been deposited and credited to his bank account between 2009 and 2018.

The launderer told News 360 that he worked at SGM Sugar Mills from 2009 to 2018 and it has been two years now that he left the office.

Kumar said that he learnt about it through a notice sent by the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) on October 13 and he was summoned on October 19. However, he had no clue of who did these transactions.

He said that he had submitted an answer in the court through his counsel.
