Kendrapada: Odisha Gramya Bank’s Batipada branch under Aul block in Odisha’s Kendrapada district saw a mad rush with lakhs of rupees from ‘unknown sources’ being credited to more than 40 bank accounts on Thursday.

According to sources, customers started thronging the bank after they received messages on their mobile phones about amounts ranging from several thousands of rupees up to Rs 2 lakh, being credited to the accounts. Some were seen to withdraw cash from their accounts. The bank authorities later temporarily suspended the withdrawal in view of the rush and suspicious source of the money.
