Jhalawar : An amount of 34 thousand each was sent to about 9000 accounts of Baroda Rajasthan Regional Rural Bank located in Manohar Thana of Jhalawar district of Rajasthan. Although it is being said that this is government money, but it is being said that the money has come in the accounts by mistake. When this matter came to the notice of the bank management, it froze these 9000 accounts. But after this the game of corruption started. After the bank management froze the accounts, a case came to light of taking a bribe of ₹ 8000 per account through Bank BC (Bank Business Correspondent) and activating them and withdrawing money to the account holders. After this news was broadcast on NDTV Rajasthan, the district administration has now come into action. The District Collector has now issued orders for investigation in this matter.

After that, when the bank account holders received the message of money coming, they started reaching the bank. From where, they were sent to the bank BC Nandram sitting outside the bank by the bank manager Ashwani Nayak.
Bank BC Nandram told all the people that your accounts are closed. If you give me ₹ 8000 per account, I will get your accounts activated and withdraw the money deposited in it and give it to you.
