Balvinder Gill explains how the Post Office scandal affected him
Available for over a year
Balvinder Singh Gill said he felt "really optimistic" when he moved to Oxford from his home town of Coventry, but it became a "nightmare". The Post Office prosecuted 736 sub-postmasters and sub-postmistresses between 1999 and 2015 based on information from the Horizon system, after faulty software wrongly made it look like money was missing. Balvinder was subsequently wrongly accused of stealing £108,000and has told how he was sectioned three times after struggling with his mental health. He spoke to ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Mary Rhodes in more detail about how the scandal has affected his life.
