Victim registers police complaint 

In his police complaint, Manish Dhangar said, "On Friday afternoon, a customer named Samarth Brahmbhatt came to my desk and attacked me on the office premises. The accused slapped me 2-3 times and even kicked me. When other bank employees tried to stop Samarth, his friend Parth who was also with the accused, also kicked me."

According to the police complaint, Samarth was angry with him and the bank because he was constantly being asked to submit a copy of his house insurance policy. Samarth, according to Dhangar, threatened him over the phone that he would not submit the insurance policy.

Notably, the accused Samarth had taken a home loan from the bank. During the audit, it was found that the customer had not submitted his house insurance policy, which was required since the house was not mortgaged with the bank.
