Panchanan said that he had brought gold from the same bank before and bought the jewellery trusting them and paid Rs 8 lakh 92 thousand 690 Rupees, which he had saved in a fixed saving account at the bank.
However, this time the gold turned out to be fake after he cut the jewellery open and found it contained silver and only gold was plated on top. He informed the bank employees about this incident. The police are investigating the incident.
Meanwhile, HDFC Bank employee Pradeep Ojha has said that Panchanan had tested the gold before taking it. He has also taken similar gold before.
