When the manager of a bank you have entrusted with your life’s savings invites you to the bank, offers you a seat and asks about the condition of your heart — its definitely not good news. A retired vice principal of St Xavier’s School, Fort was initially amused when her bank branch manager enquired about her heart condition. But the amusement was short-lived as the manager informed her Rs 6 lakh was drawn from her savings account fraudulently.

Renee Carvalho (61) has since filed a complaint with Azad Maidan police station claiming that unknown person/s have withdrawn money from her account presenting a fake cheque. “In the last week of February, I received a letter asking me to visit the branch. On April 3 when I visited the bank, the bank manager first enquired about my health. He asked me if I have any heart ailments. I was a bit amused to hear the manager asking me such questions. Finally, he told me about the Rs 6 lakh withdrawal,” said Carvalho.
