A young West Lothian postmaster who survived cancer has told how his ordeal over plugging a £100,000 Horizon black hole was as stressful as his fight with the deadly disease. Salman Aslam said a relentless five-year battle with the Post Office over major discrepancies at his branch destroyed his life. The 25-year-old finally walked away from the business he took over from his father last summer, having been blamed for another £80,000 shortfall he could not pay. Salman, from Bathgate, spoke out after other Scots postmasters told our sister title the Daily Record that the Fujitsu IT system – which was previously blamed for the wrongful convictions of hundreds of postmasters and is at the centre of a national scandal – is still making lives a misery. He says Horizon left him broke, depressed and had tarnished his reputation after what happened at his Motherwell branch.
