SBI Bank Guard Fires Gun in Narsinghpur Over Missing Tiffin
Chaos erupted at an SBI branch in Narsinghpur after a security guard fired his service weapon during a dispute over a missing tiffin box.
A terrifying scene unfolded at the State Bank of India (SBI) Agricultural Commercial Branch in Narsinghpur, Madhya Pradesh, on Sunday night. What began as a routine food delivery turned into a moment of pure chaos when a security guard discharged his service weapon, sending bystanders scrambling for safety.
A Dispute Over a Tiffin Box
The tension originated from a seemingly minor disagreement. According to reports, furniture work was being carried out at the bank premises during the night. To feed the workers and the security staff, a local tiffin center operator, Vipin Nema, arrived at the location with his two children to deliver 11 ordered tiffins.
However, the atmosphere turned hostile when the security guard, identified as Rajkumar, noticed that one of the tiffins was missing. The discovery sparked a heated verbal altercation between Rajkumar and Nema.
Gunfire Triggers Panic
As the argument intensified, the situation escalated beyond words. In a sudden burst of aggression, Rajkumar brandished his service firearm and fired a shot into the air. The sound of the gunshot sent immediate waves of panic through the area, with people nearby desperately seeking cover to avoid potential harm.
Police Intervention and Legal Action
The Kotwali police responded quickly to the commotion. Upon arriving at the scene, officers took Rajkumar into custody and successfully seized the firearm used in the incident.
Following an initial interrogation, authorities have officially registered a case against the guard. He has been charged under sections 296(b) and 125 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). The police are currently conducting a further investigation into the circumstances that led to the discharge of the weapon.
