Mangaluru, Aug 14: A report that has come out with some delay has claimed that gold kept inside the bank locker of Jammu and Kashmir Bank on K S Rao Road here has been stolen.

Haseena Karim happens to be the customer who    has complained of losing gold. Haseena and her sister, Shyma Faizal, have a locker in the said bank, it is said. Haseena reportedly had kept 103 sovereigns of gold in her locker.

Sometime back, key of the locker had been lost, and a search for the key was on. The complainant claims that one of the keys of the locker remains with the bank while the other is given to customer. As the key could not be traced,  the locker was broken open on July 26 in the presence of the bank representatives, and customers, Haseena and Shyma. Then it was found that the all the gold kept inside the locker had gone missing.

In a complaint filed with the city (north) police station, Haseena has alleged that bank employees have swindled her gold. The police have begun investigation into the complaint.

    There is one more angle to it. Customer after removing all the gold can complaint about lost key. This can be a possible scenario. One more thing, if nationaized banks originated from DK can operate all over india , why not nationalized bank from JK operate here. Lossing the key is a negligent act from customer.

    Doesn't sound like you ever operated a locker in a bank.

    There is CCTV recording of every visit and one has to sign the register to take permission for opening one. The signature gets verification/matching before permission granted.

    Banks are no more trust Institute .It happened to me once.AsI wanted to open the locker,the papers were not there.The Manager was transfered and papers with him.The signed paper from my husband was missing.without paper,nolocker will be opened.Usually when a locker to opene,first signature is required who and which date,and then in the presence of bank employee locker shoud be opened.whereas here ,how come they opened without signature,personal identification,and which employee was present etc?very suspicious.did they have any Register of how much Gold was there or only on mouth saying?

    Instead of reporting the loss of key, they should have immediately arranged for break-opening the locker. Probably somebody who found the key may have handed it over to the bank and the officials used it to open the locker and empty the contents.

    A locker needs two keys to open it, else it needs to opened forcefully. Since no news of theft in the bank, the entire episode may have taken place with co-operation and knowledge of bank officials.

    Jammu and Kashmir bank in Mangalore? That sounds great. Its presence is here.
    But banks are not really trust worthy while dealing with gold. With this amount of gold they could buy a safe locker themselves at home with little investment.

    Banks are symbol of trust and trust only the hall mark here.I wonder why the customer went to a north based private bank for her banking needs,when we have hundreds of bank branches here in the dist with unquestionable trust.
    A advise to people...pl do not take lockers which have no facility of putting your own locking facility beyond the joint locking system.This will doubly ensure your valuables safe and makes you free of doubts of this kind of frauds.
