Maharashtra: Guy Sneakily Opens Juice Shop Inside ATM & Enjoys Air Conditioned Space Rent-Free!

I am often left appalled by stories of people hacking into ATMs. For instance, some thieves previously scooped out an ATM machine using a construction digger, or how a Gujarat man stole Rs. 1.5 lakhs by sticking his fingers in the ATM!

As per a report in DNA India, in a recent video that has surfaced, a local vendor can be seen running a juice shop by encroaching the space of an ATM in Amravati, Maharashtra. Reportedly, the shop owner has also made seating arrangements for those who would come there to withdraw money from the ATM.

In the video, we can see that the ATM machine has been pushed aside to make room for some red plastic chairs which could accommodate and attract the juice shop’s customers. In a hilarious utilization of resources, the vendor has managed to arrange a rent-free (and possibly air-conditioned) seating area for his juice-shop. Indian jugaad at its best!

But unfortunately, this setting would also leave people withdrawing money in the presence of others sitting in close proximity.

Bizarre! Bank customers at risk as juice shop encroaches ATM centre in Amravati - WATCH

Zee News reports that this is clearly against the bank rules which state that only one person should operate the ATM at a time. The presence of others would put the safety of ATM operators at risk.

Do you also think that this ATM-cum-juice center is a mockery of bank safety rules and guidelines? Tell us!

(It is advised for people to be extremely cautious while withdrawing money from ATM centers. One shouldn’t share crucial details like PIN number, OTP, etc. and also cover the ATM machine’s keypad while entering the details.)
