Jilani then approached Solanki who reported the matter to the DM.

"I have spoken to the Deputy General Manager of SBI branch and they have asked Jilani to submit an application," said Kaushal.

His bank account has been seized, said the DM, adding that he will not be able to withdraw money from it for the time being.

Jilani, who hails from Padrauna area of Kushinagar district, lives in a rented room in Jajmau area of the city.
