Chennai, September 24: A cab driver who rose to prominence after the Tamil Nadu Mercantile Bank deposited Rs 9,000 crore in his bank account for about 25 minutes approached the city police commissioner's office on Saturday, alleging that the bank provided no explanation for the transaction, wondering whether his bank account was being misused.

Rajkumar, the cab driver, has been residing in Kodambakkam for some years. On September 9, he received notification from his bank that Rs 9,000 crore had been placed in his account. While he originally thought it was a joke, a deeper examination of the message revealed that it was from the bank and Rajkumar had transferred Rs 21,000 to a buddy. The bank deducted the balance amount a few minutes later. Uttar Pradesh: Vegetable Vendor Receives Rs 172 Crore in Bank Account in Ghazipur, Says Unaware of 'Transaction'; Probe Launched by Income Tax Department.
