However, when he had been to the Syndicate Bank on May 3, Friday, he found that the cash  had been withdrawn.  He even checked his Corporation Bank account and to his dismay Rs 50,000 had been withdrawn from even that account through ATM withdrawal by an unknown person.

Though Gopal Poojari says he does not  give his ATM card to anyone, the withdrawal of cash from his account through ATM has surprised bank authorities.

Gopal had deposited Rs. 50,000/- on March 26 in  his account in Corporation Bank while an equal amount was deposited in Corporation Bank the next day.

A police complaint has been lodged.
