Mumbai: A senior depositor with the scam-hit Punjab & Maharashtra Cooperative Bank Ltd. died here on Friday, after he was unable to withdraw money for his treatment, family sources said here.

The victim has been identified as Murlidhar Dhara, a resident of Mulund Colony in Mulund, north east Mumbai.

This the fourth victim whose death has been attributed to the agony faced by them and lakhs of other depositors of the PMC Bank.

Earlier this week, on Monday, Sanjay Gulati suffered a cardiac arrest and died at his home in Oshiwara, as all his monies were blocked in the PMC Bank and he could not withdraw cash for his physically-challenged son’s treatment.

The next day, another depositor Fattomal Punjabi collapsed after a heart attack and succumbed as his life savings were stuck in the bank.

On Wednesday, a lady doctor Nivedita Bijlani allegedly committed suicide by an overdose of sleeping pills and the PMC Bank crises were blamed for triggering the circumstances leading to her extreme step.

Presently, the Reserve Bank of India has permitted depositors to withdraw a maximum of Rs.40,000 from the PMC Bank on which it has imposed wide-ranging sanctions for six months from September.

Since the scam broke out, the aggrieved PMC Bank depositors have been carrying out a series of protests in the city, lodged police complaints and filed court cases against the Bank management.

Depositors’s groups have demanded that the RBI should immediately lift the curbs on their deposits, or merge the PMC Bank with some other bigger bank to ensure the safety of their money lying inaccessible in various accounts.-IANS News
