Another PMC bank depositor dies; kin say it's natural death

Mumbai: A senior citizen holding an account in crisis-hit Punjab and Maharashtra Cooperative (PMC) Bank died on Saturday in suburban Mulund, the fifth such case since the alleged scam came to light leading to the imposition of curbs on cash withdrawals.

Family members of the deceased Ram Arora, however, claimed that his death was not related to the bank scam or resultant restrictions on the withdrawal of funds. He was a resident of Mulund Colony.

"It was a natural death. He was a senior citizen. The death is not related to the bank scam," they said. So, far four depositors of the troubled bank have died since the alleged scam was exposed.
