Jewellery worth about Rs 50 lakh is reported missing from a locker at a State Bank of India (SBI) branch, prompting authorities to initiate a case. Multiple reports state that the matter comes to light after the locker holder(s) notice the loss and alert the bank and police.
According to the outlets, the bank has been conducting internal checks alongside the investigation. One report says a case is registered against the branch’s manager and some staff members, alleging negligence or involvement in relation to access to the locker. Another outlet frames the issue as a “locker mystery,” focusing on the reported value of the missing jewellery rather than detailing specific allegations.
While the reported core facts are consistent—an SBI locker, jewellery worth around Rs 50 lakh, and an ongoing investigation—coverage differs in emphasis. Times of India highlights that legal action is taken against the manager and staff, whereas The Economic Times mainly describes the missing jewellery and the uncertainty surrounding how it happened.
Police and bank officials are reported to be examining access records and related circumstances as the case proceeds.
