The notes dispensed by the ATM machine were imprinted with 'Children Bank of India' mark and interestingly when an investigating officer went to dispense notes from the same ATM, in order to check the claims, he also received the same fake note.

Rohit Kumar, a customer care executive, had gone to withdraw cash from the State Bank of India (SBI) ATM in Sangam Vihar. He got four notes of Rs 2,000 which had "churan" label on them in place of the official watermark.

He had alleged that he has withdrawn Rupees 8000, 4 notes of 2000 note denomination from SBI ATM and he found that all 4 notes are fake. An investigating officer of the case went to the ATM to check the allegations and also withdrew one note from his account and got fake.”

A case under section 406/409/420 IPC has been registered by the police. "We have also narrow down one accused identified as Mohammad Isha, custodian who replenish ATMs,” Bania said.
