Will soon solve loss of valuables worth Rs 85L from bank locker in Palamu: Cops
Daltonganj: A customer of a Punjab National Bank (PNB) branch in Daltonganj reported losing valuables and jewellery worth Rs 85 lakh from the bank's locker and filed a complaint with the law enforcers, but the bank officials have washed their hands off the incident, the town police said on Tuesday. Police are also sure that they will solve the case soon after their preliminary investigation. Probing the case, which took place on June 10, police said they were looking into it from all angles. According to them, the victim, a local, works in a private company in New Delhi and he last visited the bank in February this year but did not open his locker. The officer-in-charge of the town police station, Jyoti Lal Rajwar, said, "We have received a complaint about precious gold items worth around Rs 85 lakh missing from the locker. We have begun a probe into it." It is too early to say, who is responsible for making the valuables disappear, he said. Rajwar also indicated that their preliminary investigations did not hint towards any foul play on the part of the bank as there were no indications of theft or pilferage. "However, we will leave no stone unturned to find the culprit," Rawar said, adding that police did not even find any trace of tampering with the locker. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en La Reja (ver precio) Verisure Más información Undo A PNB official, requesting anonymity, said, "The said locker was operated only twice — Sep 27, 2010 and April 16, 2016. The locker holder visited the bank on February 19 this year but didn't operate it. Only in April, he informed the bank that he had lost the key." Thereafter, the locker was broken on July 10 as per RBI guidelines by the bank employees in the presence of the owner of the locker and two independent witnesses. Upon opening the locker, it was found to be empty. The locker holder also gave a copy of the intimation about the key getting lost to the town police station only on July 14. After the preliminary investigation, Rajwar assured, "This case will be solved soon." Under the RBI rules, TOI cannot directly talk to the victim customer for his comments, experts said. Notably, banks are responsible when a loss occurs if there is any shortcoming on their part or an act of commission/omission or negligence under the RBI regulations. In addition, banks are responsible for any of their employees' fraudulent activities. In such scenarios, the bank is liable to pay an amount equivalent to 100 times the existing locker's annual rent. However, under the new bank locker rules in case of theft, the banks are responsible for any damage or loss of the locker contents due to the bank's carelessness. In case of scenarios like fire, theft, burglary, robbery and dacoity arising due to negligence of the bank or fraudulent employees, the bank is liable to pay the customers an amount equivalent to 100 times the current locker's rent.

Neena Gupta-Sunita Rajwar on their off-screen friendship: We met in theatre and became friends
Mumbai, They may be pitted against each other as political rivals in "Panchayat" as Manju Devi and Kranti Devi but in real life, Neena Gupta and Sunita Rajwar enjoy a great friendship that goes back to their theatre days. The two have worked together on the 2020 film, 'Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan', and the Prime Video series, 'Panchayat'. 'We met in the theatre, we did a play together. We kept working together, and when we do a show, we get a lot of time for rehearsals. We have been friends for many years, and we occasionally meet over food or just like that,' Gupta told PTI in an interview. 'When I found out that Sunita was also there , I was very happy because after the shoot, she came to my room in the evening, we cooked together, sometimes, she brought food. So, I got a good company, a good friend,' she said. Rajwar said whenever she gets an offer, and if she is confused about it, she seeks Gupta's guidance. Both Gupta and Rajwar had auditioned for 'Panchayat' and the globally acclaimed movie 'Santosh'. Gupta secured the role of Manju Devi in 'Panchayat', while Rajwar was cast as Geeta Sharma in 'Santosh'. 'It happened during 'Panchayat', where she had auditioned for my role of 'Manju Devi', then there is a film, 'Santosh', for which I had also auditioned for her role,' Gupta said. 'Whenever we do a new project, we both know about it, so it isn't an on-set surprise,' Rajwar said, adding, 'We are friends universally.' Created by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Chandan Kumar, 'Panchayat' revolves around Abhishek Tripathi , an engineering graduate who, for lack of a better job, joins as secretary of a panchayat office in a fictional village named Phulera in Uttar Pradesh. Gupta plays Manju, the elected village head , while Rajwar as Kranti is her rival. The fourth season promises to escalate the rivalry as both characters vie for supremacy in Phulera. Rajwar said she admires Gupta as an actor, particularly her work in 'Woh Chokri', for which the received the National Award, and the popular TV show, 'Khandan'. 'The way she carries herself, how outspoken she is, and how clean she is, is what I admire about her. Apart from 'Panchayat', I've been with her a lot, so I know her very well.' Gupta praised Rajwar's commitment towards acting. "When a person is good in real life, then that goodness is reflected in their work. Sunita is very helpful. She gets immersed in her roles... I really admire her," she said, adding, she has unfortunately not seen Rajwar's work in "Gullak" and "Santosh". Co-star and lead actor Kumar, who plays Abhishek Tripathi or 'Sachivji' in the show, expressed his joy at the tremendous love and appreciation the series has received over its three seasons. ''Panchayat' is a well-written show, there is simplicity, authenticity, but I was not sure how many people would click on it and watch it. But it exploded , and many people saw it, and we got so much love from people. I never thought this would happen. "Although I knew that it was a very different kind of story from the stories that were being told at that time. But we didn't predict that it would get this level of result or response." "Panchayat 4" is scheduled to be released on June 24.
