Mysuru: A State Bank of India (SBI) ATM kiosk attached to the Mysuru City Corporation branch, located at Varaha Gate of the Mysore Palace, was completely gutted in an accidental fire that broke out early this morning.

Bank sources said that the ATM was loaded with Rs. 5 lakh cash yesterday by the agency which was also gutted in the fire. However, the exact amount was yet to be known.  

The fire not only damaged the ATM, but also damaged the electrical wires of the ticket counter opened specially for senior citizens on the left side of the ATM. The security room was also damaged in the incident.  Soon after noticing the fire, the Palace Security Guards informed the fire department who rushed to the spot and doused the fire.
