However, when his father Vinod Singh went there on his behalf the bank officials allegedly refused to deposit the money.

“My son Jitendra Singh’s backbone is fractured. He could not come here to deposit the money, hence I came here. However, the bank officials refused to deposit the money and ran from here,” said Vinod Singh.
