According to Singh, Raval, a resident of Bodakdev, visited the bank to discuss TDS deductions on his fixed deposit interest. Despite receiving a detailed explanation about the refund process, Raval became angry, accusing the bank of mishandling his money. He then allegedly snatched Singh’s ID card, grabbed his shirt, and tore it.
When Jain tried to defuse the situation, Raval slapped him and tore his shirt as well. Bank employees and customers managed to stop Raval before things got worse. Singh called the police, who arrived quickly to control the situation.
The Vastrapur police have filed a case against Raval for obstructing official work, using abusive language, and assault. Inspector L. L. Chavda stated, “We have arrested the accused, and the investigation is ongoing.”
This incident highlights the rising tensions linked to financial disputes.
