Indian expat accused of defrauding Bahraini businessman of BD47,000
A Bahraini businessman has accused his purchasing manager, an Indian national, of embezzling BD47,000 from the company. This came as the complainant, Bahraini Yasser Mohammed Khambar, held a press conference, seeking help from the Indian expatriate community to bring the suspect to justice. Mr. Khambar owns an electrical shop in Isa Town and the accused has been working with him in the position of purchasing manager for the past few years.
“In 2016, I opened a new shop in Manama and he was put in charge of all purchases. I used to hand over signed post-dated cheques to carry out the purchases from time to time. “He used to buy materials using these cheques and would sell them in the black market. I realized the fraud recently and by then he had fled the Kingdom, conning me out of BD47,000.”
Mr. Khambar said the total losses he incurred after being a victim of fraud could be somewhere in the neighborhood of BD60,000. “Later, I could learn that he had been selling materials from my shop in the black market, embezzling thousands of dinars from the company.
