A shocking case has emerged from Patna, the capital of Bihar. In a shocking incident, a dead body arrived at a bank to withdraw money.

The incident took place in the Shahjahanpur area of Patna in Bihar. Canara Bank has a branch near Sigrivan village here. The villagers rushed to the bank with a dead body and demanded to withdraw money from the deceased's account.

Mahesh Yadav, 55, of Sigrivan village, died on January 5. Mahesh was to be cremated. But no one had the money to pay for the funeral. So the villagers went to the bank and demanded that the money be withdrawn from Mahesh's account. But bank officials refused to do so, sparking tensions.

The 55-year-old recently died, and left behind no nominee. Since his e-KYC was also not completed, the bank authorities were left with no option but to decline the villagers demand for withdrawal of money from his account. His savings account balance was around Rs 1 lakh, according to reports.

After the villagers brought his corpse, and refused to leave the bank branch, the manager was compelled to handover Rs 10,000 on his personal expense for cremation purpose, reports said. He reportedly went along the villagers to the crematorium.

Officials could not confirm what options they have for the money left behind by Yadav in his bank account. Since he had no nominee, the nearest kin who would claim the amount would have to go through the legal complications.
