Noida: A surprising incident happened in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. A 20-year-old boy named Deepak suddenly got a notification on his phone. The message showed a massive amount of money—Rs 1.13 lakh crore—had been added to his Kotak Mahindra Bank account.

This account actually belonged to his mother, Gayatri Devi, who passed away two months ago. Deepak was using the account just for small online payments.

When Deepak saw the huge number, he got scared and confused. He even asked his friends to count how many zeroes were in the message! The next morning, he went to the Kotak Mahindra Bank branch in Greater Noida.

The bank confirmed that the money was showing in his account. But they didn’t know how or why. So, they immediately froze the account.

This strange situation reached the Income Tax Department, which has now started an investigation. Officials said that such a big amount could be a technical error, a banking glitch, or maybe even a case of money laundering.

Right now, nobody knows where this money came from. The bank has not made any official statement, but it is helping with the investigation.

On social media, the story is going viral. People are joking that Deepak is now richer than Mukesh Ambani!
