Faridabad Family Alleges Rs 20 Lakh Jewellery Theft from Punjab National Bank Locker
A Faridabad family alleges that jewellery worth nearly Rs 20 lakh disappeared from their Punjab National Bank locker after their original key stopped working. The locker was drilled open in the presence of bank officials and found empty, with missing items including gold jewellery and antique silver coins. The family claims the bank delayed responding and, after media coverage, asked them to search their home for the valuables. The bank denied entry to reporters seeking comment, and the family has requested an investigation transfer.
