A plumber from a nondescript village in Bihar’s Gaya Ji district was left stunned after discovering that the balance in his bank account had jumped from a mere Rs 113 to Rs 294 crore.

Shocked by the bank balance, Vikash Kumar informed the local leaders of Mastpura village about it on Thursday morning, and on their suggestion, he approached the police.

Station House Officer (SHO) of Bodh Gaya police station, Manoj Kumar Singh, said, “This is a sensitive financial case. Bank records, server logs, transaction IDs and linked accounts are being examined.”

He said police were trying to determine whether the amount credited was a result of a banking error, a technical fault or related to any fraud.

Investigations are underway, he added.
