Fake Rs 2,000 note: ‘Children Bank of India’ struck Ghaziabad ATM days before Delhi case
Another ATM in neighboring Ghaziabad had relegated a fake Rs 2,000 note to a MNC worker in January, days before the money machine of the State Bank of India at Sangam Vihar administered five notes with 'Churan Lable' on them.
The casualty for this situation, 26-year-old Sidhant Shashikar, attempted his best to recoup his lost cash, yet the bank director purportedly rejected his affirmations saying that every one of the notes are "sorted" before filling them in the ATM's vault.
Shashikar is employed as a network engineer in HCL Technologies and was made a beeline for work on January 24 when he chose to pull back Rs2,000.
He halted at a SBI ATM at the bank's office in Indirapuram's Gyankhand zone and utilized his grandma's PNB card to pull back Rs2,000. The note that was professedly apportioned at 8.57am was strikingly like the ones administered by another SBI ATM in south Delhi's Sangam Vihar on February 6.
"When I checked the note, I couldn't trust my eyes. It had the words 'Churan Lable', 'Bharatiya Manoranjan Bank' and 'Kids Bank of India' composed on it. I instantly acknowledged something wasn't right and indicated it to the protect at the ATM before going to the branch director," said Shashikar.
The bank administrator, in any case, gave back the manually written letter to Shashikar by composing that the note being referred to did not relate to them "as every one of the notes are sorted before recharging them in the ATM".

A furious Shashikar did not answer to work that day and returned home to gripe about the mistake and the bank administrator's charged reaction to his close relative
His close relative instantly shot off a mail to SBI authorities at gm.customer@sbi.co.in, yet supposedly got no reaction.
"There is no redressal framework where I can look for offer assistance. Your client mind numbers have been continually occupied and not reacting and not giving me the correct decision. Your site is not opening," she wrote in her mail.
The family said they didn't approach the police as they had little trusts from them, yet had securely kept the note with them this while.
