Some technicians who arrived to fix a malfunctioning cash machine in the Indian state of Assam got a shock when they opened it up, report by BBC reveals.

Notes worth more than 1.2m rupees (£13,300; $17,600) had been shredded – and the suspected culprits are rats.


Police said 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 were widely shared on Twitter.

One shows 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 rupees, officials said.

Is this real?

These are the specie of rats we have in the Aso rock.

The rats are hungry due to lockdown and scarcity of food in the streets. Hence there resolution to protest to the people via the ATM vandalisation .

Those shreds should be tested in a lab


Looks more like a strategically planned crime

BBC reveals

Yet no link whatsoever was posted. Rats are highly destructive, so I believe the news to an extent. They however, don’t eat paper. They surely don’t eat money also.

I can personally attest to the fact that rats chew paper, money, clothing and wood. I've even seen cases where rats chewed into the soles of people's feet.

They chew and tear apart but don't eat. In the case of the people their soles were eaten.
