A few weeks ago, Punjab & Maharashtra Cooperative Bank (PMC Bank) and its customers got into trouble when the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) restricted the amount depositors can withdraw.
After that, a video is getting viral on social media in which we can hear a person talking to the media organization about the recent PMC bank crisis and describing the plight of the account holders. He alleged that the government is giving protection to the chairman, bank manager, and politicians involved in the scam. While sharing this video on social media, it is being claimed that this person who criticised the government is BJP's Lok Sabha MP Bhanu Pratap Singh.
You can watch the video here:
