Bank locker theft: Customers lose valuables, banks wash their hands off | The Probe
Balendu Shukla, a former minister with the Madhya Pradesh government, got the shock of his life when he and his wife discovered that their hard-earned life savings and valuables stored in the safe deposit locker of the State Bank of India (SBI) had just disappeared. Shukla had deposited the valuables in the Gwalior branch of the SBI in February 2020. In June 2021, during a routine visit to the bank, the family found that the locker was empty.
The safe deposit locker was locked, and according to Shukla, there were no signs of tampering. So, how did the articles disappear? Nine months have passed since the incident, and Shukla is yet to hear from the bank authorities and law enforcement agencies.
Shukla’s story is not a one-off case. We spoke to several victims whose valuables too had disappeared just like Shukla’s.
