Her son, Arun Kumar, said he first noticed the discrepancy when he visited an ATM to generate a PIN and check the account balance.
“I checked the balance and it was very high, around Rs.9 crore. We don’t know whose money it is,” he told the news channel.
Sita also expressed confusion over the sudden credit, saying she had no idea how the funds were transferred into her account.
“We don’t know how this money came. Whoever it belongs to should take it back,” she told the news channel.
Her husband, Farzan, said the family intends to visit the bank and return the money once it reopens.
Meanwhile, a video of the ATM balance check has gone viral on social media.
Officials at the Bank of India’s Sultanganj branch in Uttar Pradesh have attributed the incident to a 'technical error'.
