[VIDEO]: Rats Break Into ATM Machine During The Lockdown And Eats Up Money Worth $44,000

Some ATM technicians who arrived to fix a malfunctioning cash machine in the Indian state of Assam during the lockdown got a shock when they opened it up.

Notes worth more than 1.2m rupees ($44,000) had been shredded – and the suspected culprits are rats as reported by BBC.

According to a report by the police, the rodents probably entered the machine through a hole for wiring, the Hindustan Times reported.

Pictures of the chewed cash at the State Bank of India branch in Tinsukia district went viral on social media with one showing a dead rodent lying in the debris.

Police official, Prakash Sonowal said that the machine had been out of action for about 12 days, the Hindustan Times added.

Technicians who took the unit apart found banknotes of 2,000 and 500 rupee denominations destroyed. They managed to salvage another 1.7m rupee, officials said.
