ATM issues extra cash, incites chaos
A riot nearly broke out at an ATM in Hyderabad, India, after it dispensed extra cash, Makkal Osai reported.
The incident began when a man noticed that the ATM gave out an extra 1,000 rupees (RM50) when he withdrew 3,000 rupees (RM150). The same thing happened with the man behind him and both found that their accounts had not been deducted the extra 1,000 rupees.
News of this spread rapidly and people rushed to the ATM to try their luck.
The crowd soon swelled and spilled onto the road causing traffic to be held up.
Police had to disperse the crowd by beating and pushing them away with batons.
Bank officials who were able to finally check the ATM found technical glitches and shut it down.
Police then blocked off the entire area and stationed personnel until the issue was fixed.
