An unusual case from Sharjah has shocked many after an Indian bank employee lost his job and now faces legal action for lending his wife a huge sum of money. According to Gulf News, the man, originally from the Indian state of Kerala, was working as a bank manager in Sharjah when his wife requested 100,000 dirhams (over 75 lakh Pakistani rupees) for just one day.
Trusting his wife, the manager gave her the money without informing the bank. However, the situation took a dramatic turn when she refused to return the amount. Once the matter came to light, the bank immediately terminated his employment and began an investigation into the incident.

Reports say that despite repeated requests from her husband, the woman refused to pay back the money. The manager then filed an official complaint against her in court. She, in response, hired her own lawyers to defend herself.
It was revealed during the investigation that the woman had married the bank manager recently after a love affair. However, evidence showed that she had a history of fraudulent activities. Authorities discovered that she had previously borrowed money from multiple people for “a few days” and never returned it.
A welfare group working for Indians in the UAE also confirmed that she had been involved in several similar scams. In one notable case, she allegedly took 150,000 dirhams from a real estate company, claiming she would deposit it in a bank account, but she never did.
This case has sparked discussions in Sharjah and beyond about trust, financial responsibility, and legal risks when lending money even to close family members. Legal experts warn that in the UAE, misusing company funds or lending without authorization can lead to severe penalties, including job loss, fines, and jail time.
