A case of theft of jewelry worth twenty lakhs has been reported from the locker of State Bank of India in Ajmer. The victim, Himanshu Asojia, has accused the bank employees of being involved in the theft. The police are currently investigating the case.
Himanshu Asojia, a resident of Bhagwanganj Nai Basti, Ajmer, reported the theft at the Kotwali police station. He mentioned that he and his mother, Madhuri, have a joint account at the State Bank of India branch on PR Marg, Ajmer. On 2nd April, they visited the bank to close their locker, which contained jewelry worth about Rs 20 lakh. However, upon opening the locker, they discovered that the jewelry was missing, and only documents were found.
When they approached the bank manager for assistance, they were met with reluctance and were denied access to the CCTV footage. The bank employees allegedly behaved rudely and, according to the victim, demonstrated suspicious behavior. As a result, Himanshu Asojia filed a report at the Kotwali police station, expressing his belief that the theft may have occurred with the involvement of bank employees.
The case has been registered at the Kotwali police station, and the investigation has been assigned to ASI Maniram. This incident is currently under investigation, and the authorities are working to resolve the matter.
1.IS CCTV allowed at Locker room? In my view, no.
2. If one key is with the Locker holder, how can it be done.
3. Without closing of Locker, Customer key Can’t comes out.
4. There’re many other points, which may be taken into consideration during Investigation.
Regard
I am a retired Banker.
CCTV now installed facing towards entrance of locker room to watch who is entering/exiting from locker room.
It is not that straight forward.
1.CCTV not allowed in Locker room.
2. Cust key cannot come out without closing of Locker.
There might be too many layers of facts, which will get unfolded with the time.
Bank manager should check has the offier responsible for locker operation on the day, has given the certificate regarding properly locking the locker after last time used by the customer. And the certificate shilould be in the same ink and same hand for the whole day.
