£42,000 benefit fraudster walks free - because savings 'were for daughter's dowry'
By Daily Mail Reporter

Zohural Alam claimed income support for seven years though he had £20,000 in high-interest savings accounts

A benefit fraudster who claimed £42,000 by concealing his savings has walked free from court after saying the nest-egg was for his daughter's dowry.
Zohural Alam received a total of £42,298 in income support over seven years, claiming he had no savings.

But he was caught when investigators found £20,000 hidden in high-interest accounts and other investments, the Old Bailey was told.
Alam, 61, claimed the savings had been deposited by a relative in Bangladesh to pay the bridegroom's family when daughter Farjana married - though she has still to wed.
Judge Martin Stephens, QC, told the father-of-four that although such offences usually meant an immediate prison term, there were 'exceptional circumstances'.
Passing a seven-month suspended sentence, the judge said: 'You knew you were doing wrong. You have faced up to it and pleaded guilty.
'But the fact is you were acting dishonestly... A short immediate prison sentence would be fully justified.'

However, the judge said there were 'exceptional circumstances', with no evidence to disprove Alam's claims about the dowry.
