Crorepati By Chance


I am writing a very interesting instance of becoming a crorepati of a ordinary businessman but only for few hours on Dhanteras day. People says it was the blessings of Goddess Laxmi  on him. What is your view please comments on the following story.
On Dhanteras, Jugalkishore Jangid, 32, a carpenter who belongs to Devan village near Jaipur but has been living in Ahmedabad for the last 13 years,  had a date with destiny. When early on Thursday, October 15, 2009 he went to  the Punjab National Bank (PNB) ATM near New Cloth Market to withdraw cash and pay his workers for Diwali , he was surprised to find that he had suddenly turned  into a ‘crorepati’. He got a balance slip from the ATM showing that his balance  in his bank account had jumped from Rs 2.5 lakh to Rs 59.30 crore by the grace of  Goddess Laxmi and he had no idea about the source of the extra cash. Initially, he  thought it was a mistake and went to another ATM, but the balance did not change. He was so baffled, he did not have the courage to withdraw Rs 20,000 to pay his workers.
He promptly contacted PNB authorities. Bank authorities approached the headquarters in Delhi,  where it was confirmed that a technical error in the ATM server had caused the huge amount  being transferred to Jangid’s account. He said since the ATM and bank account servers are different, the money was not credited in the account despite the ATM showing the colossal transfer.

The bank acknowledges the uprightness of the customer as he refrained from operating the  account. The bank and Gujarat Chamber of Commerce is going to felicitate him in a public function.
