A complainant which is account holder of a bank lodged a complaint against bank with Banking Mohtasib Pakistan regarding fraudulent withdrawal of funds from his account. Afterwards he lodged complaint with FIA and matter is under investigation where bank branch's concerned officials were called by FIA for investigation/recording statements.
