According to the complaint, filed by a senior SBI official on July 21, the bank’s NRI branch manager Harsheen Singh had asked the building owner, Kayalvizhi, about the need to rectify a faulty lift after her representative allegedly failed to respond to repeated requests.
Kayalvizhi did not like the manager’s approach, and following an argument, she slapped him.
