Mice Menace: Assam Village ATM Has Rs 12 lakh Bitten To Bits

The machine, off Tinsukia, had been awaiting repair the day after Rs 30 lakh of SBI money was filled

Mice entered a dysfunctional ATM counter in an Upper Assam village and chewed away currency notes worth more than Rs 12 lakh, even as authorities took three weeks to notice that one-third of the money deposited in the machine had been shredded to bits.

A private security company had a month ago deposited Rs 29.48 lakh inside State Bank of India ATM in Laipuli of Tinsukia, 500 km northeast of the state capital of Guwahati. Media reports said the machine had gone out of service the next day바카라on May 20.

It was only on June 11, when technicians sought to repair the machine, that they noticed a portion of the currency notes lying around, torn to pieces. The notes were mostly of the denomination of 500 and 2,000, according to Economic Times.

Global Business Solutions, a private security company deposited Rs. 29.48 lakh inside the ATM of the country바카라s largest bank, reports India Today.

Pictures of the shredded notes inside the ATM booth (run by FIS: Global Business Solutions) have gone viral on social media, with many sarcastically calling it 바카라Demonetisation Part 2바카라. 바카라We have been able to salvage about Rs 17 lakh (of the Rs 29.48 lakh deposited),바카라 a bank official confirmed to a local news channel, says Indian Express.

바카라May 20 and June 11 is a significant period of time for an ATM to be out of service,바카라 shrugged a local resident. 바카라People are suspicious as to why it took so long for the mechanics to arrive.바카라

The police have registered an FIR and begun investigation.
