When Rakesh did not reach the bank by 10 a.m., the bank’s peon tried calling him. After four to five attempts, his phone switched off. The peon, Mohammad Mohid, then informed other bank employees. Around the same time, Rakesh’s wife also called the bank. She said she was unable to reach him and asked them to connect her.
