The First High Criminal Court has scheduled February 10, 2026, for the hearing in the case of a nurse accused of exploiting the circumstances of a disabled man and unlawfully transferring large sums from his bank account.

According to the case details, the nurse, who was employed by the victim, allegedly took his mobile phone without his knowledge during 2025 and used the “Benefit” banking application linked to his account.

She reportedly exploited the victim’s electronic verification code to transfer funds in installments to her account in Bahrain, before transferring the full amount to her account in her home country in Asia. Out of the total sum, BD3,500 was returned, while the remaining BD25,750 was not.

The victim’s son testified that his father noticed large transfers from his account between September and October 2025, prompting the family to investigate the matter.

The defendant admitted taking the phone and using the application to execute the transfers, taking advantage of the victim’s disabled condition, and acknowledged that she did not return the remaining funds.
