The worrying trend of violent attacks on bank employees shows no signs of stopping. In yet another shocking incident, Shri Ratnesh Joshi, the Branch Head of Bank of Baroda’s Khajuri Branch in Shahjahanpur region, was brutally assaulted by unidentified miscreants.

The attack took place on September 3, 2025, near Barakalan, while Joshi was returning to his residence after finishing work at the branch. The assailants intercepted him on the way and attacked him. He reported the matter to authorities. On September 4, 2025, he formally lodged a complaint at the Kalan Police Station.

Police have registered the complaint and are investigating the case to identify and apprehend the culprits. The incident has once again raised serious concerns about the safety and security of bank staff.

The repeated instances of physical assaults highlight the urgent need for stronger measures to protect them.
