Kanpur Woman Finds Rs 50 Lakh Gold Missing from SBI Locker After 17 Years
A Kanpur woman discovered her State Bank of India locker, containing gold and valuables worth around Rs 50 lakh stored since 2003, was empty when she checked it in 2026. The locker had been accessed twice in 2020, though the identity of those who opened it remains unclear. The woman alleges bank negligence and conspiracy, prompting police to register an FIR. RBI rules state banks may be liable if negligence is proven, but liability depends on investigation outcomes.
