Man Becomes 'Multi-Billionaire' Overnight; ₹3,500 Crore Appears in Account

Sumesh Kumar, owner of a supermarket chain in Kerala, was astonished to find ₹3,500 crore in his account. However, the money did not remain there for long.

A surprising incident has emerged from Kerala, where an ordinary man found himself on the list of the world's wealthiest people overnight. However, his joy was short-lived, and the situation eventually returned to normal. Let us find out what happened.

According to a report by *Malayala Manorama*, the day was quite remarkable for Sumesh Kumar, owner of the 'Darshan Supermarket' chain in Tripunithura, near Kochi. Upon waking up, he discovered a balance of over ₹3,500 crore in his bank account. Seeing this caused his heart to race.

How did such a huge amount appear?

If someone were to suddenly stumble upon such immense wealth, their joy would know no bounds. However, instead of celebrating, Sumesh acted prudently. He immediately called his bank to find out how the money had ended up in his account. Later, he received a message that left him even more surprised.

Sumesh learned that ₹3.5 crore had been deposited into his account twice via card-swiping transactions at his supermarket—making the total deposit ₹7 crore. However, the transaction alerts did not indicate a balance of over ₹3,500 crore. He informed the bank about the entire situation.

Immediate Action Taken

The bank swung into action as soon as it was notified by Sumesh, and the matter was resolved by the evening. It was a technical glitch that the bank's technical team rectified. The money was subsequently withdrawn, and Somesh's account balance reverted to its original amount. Regardless of the specifics, however, this incident gave Somesh a taste of what it feels like to be a billionaire.
