A Shocking ATM Find in Gujarat where rat dies after gnawing ₹1.6 million
In a true-to-life game stranger than fiction, an ATM in Surat, Gujarat became the unlikely scene of one of the most bizarre money events in recent memory. A rat, surprisingly prodded by means of desperation or an oddly calibrated sense of taste, found its way into a cash-filled ATM and chewed through ₹1.6 million (about $20,000) in accumulated foreign currency only to be found dead among the torn bills days after.
Out of Service, Out of Control
It began with a simple request: the ATM had been long since out of commission. When technicians finally opened up the defective machine, they have been greeted with a nearly unreal scene piles of mangled money, half-eaten and scattered, and replaced by the body of the brazen trespasser. The rat, stuck inside, had spent its final days chewing through piles of bills,
An Investigation Without a Culprit
Authorities soon ruled out human intervention. There were no signs of tampering, forced entry, or internal malfeasance. Surveillance and structural examination indicated a minute opening, likely the rat’s point of entry a disturbing discovery that has raised serious concerns regarding ATM infrastructure and refurbishment procedures.
Security Concerns Beyond Cyber Threats
In an era ruled by employing digital fraud and cybersecurity attacks, this rodent rampage is a unusual but serious reminder: not all threats wear ski masks or code maliciously. Some slink in through overlooked cracks, chew through fiber and fortune both, and leave behind not stolen information but torn foreign currency and bewildered bankers.
Lessons From the Currency-Crunching Caper
Although the rat had an unfortunate and ugly fate likely caused by way of ink toxicity and excessive paper consumption, the incident has caused banks to reconsider ATM safety. Tighter sealing, regular pest surveillance, and interior sensor upgrades are now part of the preventive discourse. At times, it’s not just the hackers or the burglars we want to be worried about it’s also the unexpected animal villains.
