After a series of cases where poor villagers have received crores of rupees in their bank accounts, a daily wager learnt that he was having Rs 9.99 crore in the Union Bank of India, Supaul branch.
Interestingly, the daily wager named Vipin Chauhan claims that he never opened an account in any bank. Chauhan, a native of Sisauni locality in Supaul went to the customer service point (CSP) outlet of the Union Bank of India to open a job card for MGNREGA on Thursday.
When the official of the CSP outlet checked Vipin Chauhan's financial status using his Aadhar Card number, he found that an account already existed in his name. Adding to Chauhan's shock was the fact that the savings account, which was in his name, had a Rs 9.99 crore deposit.
"I have approached the concerned bank branch, the officials have checked the details of the account," Chauhan said.
