An ex–SBI branch manager is jailed after a court finds him responsible in connection with alleged siphoning of ₹40 lakh from the account of a deceased customer. The accused is identified as A.V. Kulkarni.

According to NDTV, Kulkarni served as Chief Manager at SBI’s Chamundipuram Branch in Mysuru. The alleged offences take place over a period from May 13, 2009, to December 23, 2011. Sources also indicate the money is taken from an account linked to a person who is already dead, raising questions about the handling of a deceased customer’s banking records and transactions. The available reporting does not specify broader institutional findings or any other accused parties.

While the reports focus on the jail outcome and the alleged amount involved, they do not present differing perspectives or competing figures beyond the same core allegations: Kulkarni’s role at the Mysuru branch, the timeframe, and the ₹40 lakh figure.
