Police in Bihar have launched an inquiry after an unusually large sum—Rs 294 crore—was credited to the bank account of a plumber who earns about Rs 12,000 a month.
The account holder, Vikas Kumar, is from Mastupura village near Bodh Gaya in Gaya district. He said his account earlier had a balance of just Rs 113.
According to the complaint, the account first showed a credit of Rs 94 crore, and later the same evening the displayed balance rose further to Rs 294 crore. Shocked by the sudden change, he informed the police.
Investigators are examining whether the transaction was caused by a banking mistake, a technical malfunction, or the work of a fraud network. Police officer Manoj Kumar Singh said linked accounts and transfer reference details are being checked as part of the probe.
