Bank evasive after 91 year old claims 5 million baht removed from his account
A 91 year old land owner and farmer in Chumpon claims that he’s had 5 million baht ‘taken’ from one of his bank accounts.
Daily News reports that Thon Brahmjan from Tha Kham district had been to the bank, the police and government consumer watchdog Damrongtham Centre at the end of last year after the 5 million baht went missing from an account he had jointly held with one of his five sons.
The bank were evasive saying they didn’t know who took the money out and the Damrongtham Centre was ineffective according to the elderly man.
The police asked for more evidence after Thon’s signature was found on a bank withdrawal slip.
Thon says he also went to hospital to confirm that he has no dementia and has all his faculties.
A local police source had told Daily News them that someone close to Thon had allegedly connived with the bank to remove the five million baht by forging the 91 year old’s signature.
Local Chumpon police are continuing with their enquiries.
