In another incident of money deposited in a bank account, Vipin Chauhan, a daily wager, received Rs. 9.99 crores in the Union Bank of India.
The officials of the Union Bank of India, Supul Branch, said they received the huge amount in the name of Vipin Chauhan. Meanwhile, Vipin Chauhan claimed has no bank account with the bank or a matter of fact with any bank, as he never opened any bank account.
Vipin Chauhan said, “I have approached the concerned bank branch, the officials have checked the details of the account. It was opened on October 13, 2016 and the transaction of crores of rupees took place in the account in February 2017. The bank official did not find my photograph, signature or thumb impression. Only the Aadhar Card number is mine. At present, Rs 9.99 crore still remains in the account.”
On the other hand, the Union Bank of India gave a statement, “We have freezed the bank account after it came to our knowledge. The internal investigation is currently underway to find out if other accounts were used in the transactions with this account.”
It is to be noted, Vipin Chauhan is a native of Sisauni locality in Bihar’s Supaul town. The incident of the mysterious bank account came into the knowledge of Vipin Chauhan after he went to the customer service point (CSP) outlet of the Union Bank of India to open a job card for the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Act (MGNREGA.) He is a daily wage labourer. While opening the job card, the CSP official informed Vipin Chauhan about an existing account and the balance amount of Rs. 9.99 crores. When Vipin Chauhan denied owning the bank account, the CSP branch informed the senior officials of the Union Bank of India and started an investigation. The bank officials searched the account opening form but it was not found in the branch.
This is the fourth time that a huge amount of money has been deposited to accounts of people residing in Bihar.

Another incident was reported 10 days back, when two school students of 6th standard, Ashish Kumar and Gurucharan Biswas received Rs. 6,20,11,100 and Rs. 90,52,21,223 respectively in their bank accounts.
