BUXAR-------------------------Panic erupted in Barka Rajpur village of Tilak Rai Ka Hata OP area when more than Rs 600 crore was suddenly credited to a confectioner's bank account. Initially, it was considered a technical glitch, but the matter became serious when the amount remained the same even after repeated checks. Upon receiving the information, the police and cyber team launched an investigation.

Jitendra Sah, a resident of the village who runs a small shop and also works as a confectioner during the wedding season, went to the village's Fino Bank CSP on Sunday morning to withdraw Rs 200 for repairing his broken motorcycle. He knew that he only had Rs 478.20 in his account. But as soon as the CSP operator checked the balance, both were stunned to see the amount displayed on the screen: ₹600,00,00,478.20 (600 crore 00 lakh 478 rupees 20 paise).

Initially, they thought it was a software glitch, but even after refreshing the system three or four times, the amount remained unchanged. The CSP operator then, as a precaution, immediately froze the account.

After consulting with villagers throughout the day, Jitendra Sah went directly to the Tilak Rai Ka Hata police station on Sunday morning and narrated the entire incident to Station House Officer Pooja Kumari.

The police were also initially surprised, but after confirming the bank entry and message, they considered it a serious matter and informed the Cyber ​​Police Station in Buxar.

The cyber police have frozen the account for security reasons and have started a technical investigation. The source of the transaction, the identity of the sending account, IP address, server logs, and possible system errors are being investigated by Fino Bank.

Following the incident, various rumors are circulating throughout the area. Currently, the police say that the actual reason will only become clear after the investigation, whether it is a technical error or part of a major cyber fraud.
