Ghaziabad (TIP)- A resident of Ghaziabad received the shock of her life when she realised that jewellery worth over Rs 70 lakh was missing from her locker in a nationalised bank. The victim, Priyanka Gupta, a resident of Ashok Nagar, filed a police complaint against the employees of Punjab National Bank (PNB) after the theft came to light. High drama ensued on Thursday as news of a bank robbery spread.

Gupta has filed a complaint at the Sihani Gate police station alleging that the jewellery worth Rs 60-70 lakh she had kept in the bank’s locker has gone missing. She said that she had been using this bank account in PNB for the last 20 years and her bank locker number is 879.

She said, “In 2019, I opened my bank locker and did not use it during the Covid-19 lockdown. Last year, in February 2021, I tried opening my locker numerous times using the old key, but in vain. I informed the employees of the bank about the same to which they gave me a number, saying that they would approach me again. I contacted them two to three times but did not get any favorable result.”
