NEW DELHI: A youth who had gone to withdraw Rs 8000 from an SBI ATM in Sangam Vihar was in for a shock when the Rs 2000 notes from the machine bore the mark of "Children Bank of India". A case was registered based on the youth's complaint at the local police station.
According to the youth, Rohit Kumar who works as a customer care executive with a private company in south Delhi, the incident happened on February 6 when he had gone to the ATM to withdraw cash for his daily expenditures.
