Woman loses gold worth 20L from PSU bank locker
Kolkata: A 64-year-old doctor, Chhabi Chaudhury Bose, who works with KMC and owns a joint account with her 90-year-old mother, alleged a theft of approximately 200 grams of gold, valued at around Rs 20 lakh, from her bank locker on June 5.
Bose operates the locker from a nationalised bank's Shyampukur branch.
Bose, a resident of Kristuaram Bose Street in north Kolkata, lodged an FIR with Shyampukur police on Sunday. Bose said, upon opening the locker around 12.40 pm, she found the steel box, which contained the gold, empty. However, another wooden box containing old fragile ornaments remained untouched.
Bose was unable to take immediate action on the day of the discovery due to time constraint and her professional commitments.
She stated how she revisited the bank the following day and approached the branch manager to report the incident in writing. However, she alleged that the manager refused to accept a written report.
Bose has expressed her suspicion that someone from the bank might be involved in the theft. The stolen gold was reportedly intended for treatment of her mother and her cardiac patient husband. The bank has yet to issue an official statement regarding the theft.

In Jan 2022, there was a revision that affected bank locker rules and regulations. At present, customers must receive notifications from banks about the use of their lockers via SMS and email. The notification should include the date, time, and a procedure for dealing with unauthorised locker access. The bank too shall be held accountable for any loss of locker contents.
