Children Bank of India note? Cop disbelieves it, loses ₹2K Similar note dispensed by SBI ATM in Ghaziabad
NEW DELHI: Not believing the claims of a call centre employee that a State Bank of India ATM in south Delhi had dispensed bogus notes proved costly for Delhi Police sub-inspector Saurabh Kumar.
Kumar swiped his own card at the ATM to check whether the complainant, Rohit, was telling the truth. In the process, he too received a similar note, losing ₹2,000 from his account for the time-being.
Rohit, a customer care executive at a call centre in Chhatarpur, had visited the SBI ATM located in Sangam Vihar’s Tigri on February to withdraw ₹8,000. What he received were four notes with ‘Churan Lable’, ‘Children Bank of India’ and ‘Bharatiya Manoranjan Bank’ written on them.
When the guard deployed at the ATM booth refused to believe that the bogus notes were dispensed by the ATM, Rohit dialed 100 to seek police’s help. Kumar and a head constable soon arrived at the scene. They were taken aback by Rohit’s claims but refused to believe him.
To prove Rohit wrong, the sub-inspector handed over his Axis Bank card to his junior to withdraw ₹2,000 and prove Rohit wrong. The sub-inspector stood confidently, watching over the head constable’s shoulder, even as Rohit and a few others waited in anticipation.
When the note was dispensed in a few seconds, the sub-inspector was left regretting his decision. He had lost ₹2,000 from his pocket and would have to wait for several days before he may be reimbursed the amount.
Thereafter, the ATM was immediately sealed and the police did not delay the registration of a FIR in the matter. Senior police officers claimed they asked a few customers who had Bharatiya Manoranjan Bank instead of Bharatiya Reserve Bank

Romil Baaniya, DCP (south), said the employee has been identified as Mohd Isha. “The liability had been fixed on Mohd Isha as he was the custodian of the currency notes at the time of the incident,” said Baaniya.
He has been asked to join the probe, but the police will not be arresting him as yet. “He was the sole custodian of the vault that contained these notes along with P.K. logo instead of RBI seal Governor’s signature missing I promise to pay the barer two thousand coupens (sic) instead of I promise to pay the bearer the sum of two thousand rupees
others. So, for now the focus is on him,” said Baaniya.
When the matter had been reported to the police on February 6, a case of cheating, manufacturing documents resembling currency notes and using forged or counterfeit notes had been registered at Sangam Vihar police station.
“But our probe revealed that the notes were not counterfeit. Such notes are available at toy shops. So, we revised the Indian Penal Code sections and registered a case of cheating and criminal breach of trust. The case is against unknown persons, but Isha’s role came up in the probe” said Baaniya.

CPI(M) general secretary NEW DELHI: Another ATM in neighbouring Ghaziabad had dispensed a fake ₹2,000 note to an MNC employee in January 24, just days before the cash machine of the State Bank of India at Sangam Vihar dispensed five notes with ‘Churan Lable’ on them on February 6.
The victim in this case, 26-year-old Sidhant Shashikar, tried his best to recover his lost money, but the bank manager allegedly dismissed his allegations saying that all the notes are “sorted” before filling them in the ATM’s vault.
Shashikar is employed at HCL Technologies and was headed to work when he stopped at an SBI ATM in Indirapuram’s Gyankhand area and used his grandmother’s PNB card to withdraw ₹2,000. “The note had ‘Churan Lable’, ‘Bharatiya Manoranjan Bank’ and ‘Children Bank of India’ written on it. I showed it to the guard at the ATM before visitingthebranchmanager,” said Shashikar.
The bank manager, however, returned the letter to Shashikar by saying that the note in question did not pertain to them “as all the notes are sorted before replenishing them in the ATM”.
The family said they did not approach the police as they had little hopes from them, but had safely kept the note with them all this while.
