Mysuru, June 22 (RK&DM)- The alleged fraudulent withdrawal of Rs.31,250 cash from the account of a customer of Kotak Mahindra Bank in Saraswathipuram has taken a new twist with the Bank officials yesterday informing the customer that the amount has been wrongly debited from his account due to technical issues.

S. Prashanth Kumar, a resident of Saraswathipuram, who holds an account in Kotak Mahindra Bank, got a message on Tuesday on his cell phone that an amount of Rs.31,250 has been withdrawn from his account. Prashanth, who was busy could not read the message on Tuesday. But on Wednesday, he got a shock of his life when he read the message that Rs.31,250 had been debited from his account.

Prashanth immediately rushed to the Bank and informed the matter to the Bank Manager and also lodged a complaint at the Cyber Police Station.

Meanwhile, Prashanth told Star of Mysore that the Bank Manager had telephoned him yesterday and said that the Bank had verified his account and Rs.31,250 was wrongly transferred from his account to the account of Bharat Traders due to technical snag and that the amount would be credited to his (Prashanth) account immediately.
