Death in bank queue
TT, Cooch Behar, Dec. 19: A 60-year-old man died after he collapsed while standing in a queue outside the State Bank of India's Gossainmari branch to withdraw cash today.
Dhaneswar Barman, owner of a paan and cigarette shop, here had been trying to withdraw money for the past two days and he stood in the queue at 6am today.
"Dhaneswar was from Bhitarkamta village and he collapsed around 1pm today. Local people took him to Gossainmari health centre and the doctors there referred him to Dinhata subdivisional hospital. He was taken there around 4pm," a police source said.
Dinhata hospital superintendent Ranjit Mondal said: "He was brought dead. Only after a post-mortem will we get to know the cause."
Sabu Barman said his neighbour Dhaneswar, his wife and two sons were dependent on the shop. "The bank (45km from here) is the only one here and has no ATM. Thousands line up everyday and the bank wouldn't allow withdrawals above Rs 2,000," he said.
Bank manager Aurobinda Mondol said: "I am not in the branch now. I have been told that a customer has died."
