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.
