Chennai man becomes millionaire due to 'technical glitch', but....

In much to his shock and surprise, a pharmacy staff from Chennai received a message that Rs 753 crore had been deposited in his Kotak Mahindra Bank account, the official said on Sunday.

The shock, however, was short-lived as the Kotak Mahindra Bank branch in Teynampet, where he has an account, froze it, saying the erroneous deposit was due to a technical glitch.

The pharmacy worker named Mohammad Idris (30) who has come from Tirunelveli district to Chennai for work, has been staying in the Teynampet area for the last 10 years and has been working in a pharmacy.

On Saturday morning, Idris received a message stating that Rs 753.48 crore was credited to his bank account and he had immediately contacted the bank and enquired about it.

Without responding properly to the customer, the bank officials received his account details and froze his account within minutes. Idris had Rs 3 thousand in his account and he had transferred Rs 2000 to one of his friends, on Saturday morning after which he received the message about the deposit.

This is the third incident in the last month in Tamil Nadu with several hundreds of crores being deposited into a commoner's bank account.
