Brutal Attacks on Union Bank Employees, A Wake-Up Call for the Banking Sector

Recently, a female officer of Union Bank of India was brutally attacked with a knife inside the bank branch in Manjummel, Ernakulam, Kerala. This shocking incident has sparked outrage across the banking community nationwide, with many demanding justice and stronger security measures for staff.

Unfortunately, this is not an isolated case. There have been several other horrifying attacks on Union Bank employees in recent times. One such incident occurred in February 2025, when the Branch Manager of Union Bank’s Nawada branch was repeatedly stabbed inside his cabin. The video footage from this incident is deeply disturbing and difficult to watch.

To highlight the growing risks faced by bank employees, we have compiled a list of the most severe and disturbing attacks that have taken place at various Union Bank of India branches.

These incidents clearly highlight the urgent need for the banking sector to strengthen the safety and security measures for its employees. Banks are no longer just financial institutions — they are public-facing workplaces where employees often deal with high-pressure situations, aggressive customers, and even physical threats. Despite this, many branches lack proper security arrangements, such as trained security guards, and safety protocols for handling violent situations.

It is unacceptable that bank employees — who work tirelessly to serve the public and maintain financial stability — should have to fear for their lives while at work. These attacks not only harm the individuals involved but also affect the morale of the entire banking workforce.

Authorities, regulatory bodies, and bank management must take these incidents seriously and ensure that strict security standards are implemented and followed across all branches. It’s time to prioritize the well-being of bank staff and create a safe and respectful working environment for them.
