Cyberabad Police today registered a criminal case against the top management of Andhra Bank here on a complaint by an account holder that he lost his gold ornaments in an incident of burglary at the Ghatkesar branch.
In his complaint, Narasimha Reddy, who had mortgaged 250 gram of gold with the bank, has alleged the management didn't take any security measure and hence his gold was stolen, said Ghatkesar police station inspector B Prakash.
