Man drops Rs 100 crore cheque in Temple donation box, turns out he had only Rs. 17 in account
Visakhapatnam: In a surprising incident at Simhachalam's Sri Varahalakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple, a person dropped a cheque of Rs 100 crore into the temple's donation box, known as 'hundi', during the usual counting process. But here's the twist – it turns out the person had only Rs 17 left in his bank account.
At first, the temple staff were taken aback by the huge amount on the cheque. However, when they looked at it more closely, they noticed some strange things. The cheque didn't have a date, and there were changes made to the amount written on it. This raised doubts about whether the cheque was genuine or not.
To get to the bottom of the mystery, the temple officials contacted the bank using the account number mentioned on the cheque. The bank revealed that the person's account had just Rs 17 in it.
Interestingly, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. In the past, the temple has encountered similar situations where people dropped big cheques into the donation box.

Six killed, 5 injured as passenger vehicle hits truck in Odisha
Sundargarh (Odisha) (PTI): Six people were killed and five others injured after a vehicle in which they were travelling rammed into a truck in Odisha's Sundargarh district early on Saturday, police said.
The accident occurred near Gaikanapali area under the Hemgiri Police Station limits when the passenger-carrying van hit the truck from behind, a senior officer said.
"Six members of a 'kirtan' group died on the spot, and five others were injured. Maybe, the accident occurred due to fog in the area," he said.
The 'kirtan' party went to Chakkplai village for a programme on the occasion of Diwali, and the accident took place when they were returning to their villages.
The deceased people belonged to Kandagoda and Samarpinda villages in the district.
The injured persons were admitted to a local hospital, the officer said.
Local people blocked the road, demanding ex gratia for the victims' families.
