A plumber from a nondescript village in Bihar’s Gaya Ji district was left stunned after discovering that the balance in his bank account had jumped from a mere Rs 113 to Rs 294 crore.
Shocked by the bank balance, Vikash Kumar informed the local leaders of Mastpura village about it on Thursday morning, and on their suggestion, he approached the police.

Station House Officer (SHO) of Bodh Gaya police station, Manoj Kumar Singh, said, “This is a sensitive financial case. Bank records, server logs, transaction IDs and linked accounts are being examined.”
He said police were trying to determine whether the amount credited was a result of a banking error, a technical fault or related to any fraud.
Investigations are underway, he added.
Vikash said he has no idea where the money came from, and did not attempt to use it. “I am a plumber. Such an amount in my bank account is improbable. I do not know where this money came from,” he said.
He said that his account had just Rs 113, after he withdrew about Rs 1,300 sent by a customer. On Thursday morning, the account balance suddenly rose to Rs 94 crore and then to Rs 294 crore by evening, he added.
