Anantapur: Mr K. Srinivasulu Naidu, a small farmer of Komatikuntla in Putlur mandal, is going to bed a crorepati, albeit a very worried one. He was shocked on Sunday when he got an SMS on his mobilephone about Rs 1.84 crore being credited into his savings bank account.
Mr Naidu has the account with the Andhra Bank branch in Tadipatri in the district. He has very little money in the account, following the series of crop failures. “The message said 1.84 crore had been credited to the account,” he said. Mr Naidu and his wife Syamala tried to speak with bank officials but no one was available.
The farmer suspects someone credited the money into his account. “We will meet bankers on Monday to freeze the transaction,” he said. The money was still in his account when reports last came in.
A cinema theatre operator had a similar experience two days ago in Anantapur, when his savings bank account was credited with Rs 1 crore. He rushed to the bank and alerted the officials who froze his account.
Earlier last week, daily wage worker Nazeer in the Chittoor district received a message about Rs 1.26 crore credited to his account in teh Andhra Bank branch at Gurramkonda on Wednesday. Bank officers later said it was a technical error, and issued an account statement later.
