GUWAHATI: A colony of mice introduced a surgical strike at an unused ATM by means of shredding forex notes worth over Rs 12 lakh at Laipuli beneath Sijubari outpost in Assam's Tinsukia district.
Police stated that forex notes worth Rs 12,38,000 had been damaged by means of mice whilst notes worth Rs 17,10,000 had been left untouched at the ATM which belongs to the State Bank of India.
Police stated that the ATM used to be left unused for more than 3 weeks on account of some technical system faults.
"On June 14 when the ATM was opened for repair, technicians found shreds of currency notes of different denomination, including many Rs 2000 and Rs 500 notes. Few mice were also found inside the ATM. A formal complaint has been lodged with the police at Sijubari outpost," a senior police official in Tinsukia advised TOI.
Notes worth Rs 17,10,000 had been left untouched at the ATM which belongs to the State Bank of India.
An SBI official also showed the damage performed to the forex notes by means of the colony of mice that collected at the unused ATM.
According to reviews, the ATM used to be run by means of a Guwahati-based financial company.
The SBI official stated that they're having a look into the subject of repairing the ATM.
Police stated that they are able to do very little into the incident, as a result of it is a subject that needed to be taken care of out by means of the bank itself.
"Had it been a case of miscreants sabotaging the ATM machines and damaging the currency notes, we would definitely have a role to play. But in this case, it's the mice that played foul," a police official stated.
