        So, long story short, I have this chacha who’s been super forcey about investing in his son’s trading. I knew it was a lost cause, but to shut him up, I gave him 1L three months back (basically chhod diya, shanti chahiye thi).

        Fast forward, now they’re demanding 5L more.I said no, obviously. Then the emotional blackmail started, “Bhai hoke help kar de” like I owe them my kidney. Things got ugly, heated argument happened, and I thought that’s the end of it.

        Today, I find my bank statement and account details on Twitter. Some rant post about “Indian relatives are snakes” with MY SENSITIVE INFO EXPOSED. Turns out, the dude got my details because I paid by cheque last time. The worst part is the screenshot was from SBI’s internal system, showing the branch and login ID of the employee who accessed and leaked it. They were checking if I was lying about not having money.

        I lost it and immediately tweeted tagging SBI, emailed the regional head, and sent a legal notice. This is a huge breach, imagine your banking details floating around because some entitled jerk didn’t get his way.

        Now, the bank employee (probably the one who shared it) is blowing up my phone, crying and begging me to withdraw the complaint. Says “job chali jayegi, family sadak pe aa jayegi” and all. I feel bad, he messed up, but I know he’s just a pawn in this.

        What do I do? Let it go because the employee’s life will be ruined or push harder because this is a serious privacy violation and banks cannot be this careless?

        Also, how do I deal with the chacha and his startup scammer son? Blocking isn’t enough, they’ve crossed every line.

              You are at a crossroad where you can either not pursue it and have some peace of mind.

              Or you can pursue it, have a bit of rough time, but get the benefits of having SBI be accountable. None of this will hurt your chacha & cousin in the slightest.

                  You really think? The guy who lost his job will be after their lives.

                      Every suit that is filed in court “can” lead to a bad confrontation. Every FIR registered can lead to the guy who goes to jail (if he doesn’t get bail)/ prison (if he does get convicted) can always come after you when they are released.

                      To answer your question, I do “really think” what I said. Filing a suit is a hassle, whether it is court hassle, lawyer hassle or the other party hassling you.

                      Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it.

                    Pata nai chacha, kitno ke statement nikal kr cold calling krta hoga or may be fraud, if the issue of 1L of money for startup + pursuit comes, he will be investigated for potential frauds, he is scared of that spotlight.

                      Bro can you lend 1L as well? I will invest it and return you the amount with interest after 1 year.

                        No, don’t withdraw complaint.

                        He’s losing his job because of his misconduct. Not your complaining.

                        And you are insane for giving that 1L. That’s how you show you can be pushed around.

                            Seriously, employees losing employment for silly mistakes or errors they committed while doing job.
                            They will give warning letter and told not to any malpractice and SOP’s of the bank.

                            As far as compensation is concerned, u will not get more than few thousands. If u lost any money due to bank mistake, then u have to show evidence that u lost money due to bank mistake only and u will get compensation in lieu of money lost.

                            Make a complaint to bank or others and ask for punishment and they will take action on employee.

                            Move on boss.
                            It is my opinion, not worth the effort of serious legal drama. Do u think it will change all data privacy problems country facing?

                              Do not let go. Absence of consequences propagates this behaviour.

                                It’s an obvious story if they say employee was on leave and out was some other dude. No matter who it was, your information was leaked and it’s SBIs responsibility. They should own it and compensate + apologise

                                  He probably took money for showing this sensitive information to your cousin.
                                  He is in that scam too.

                                      This !! Underrated comment. That’s why Indian system specially babus gutter the entire system. If it was China the guy would have been hanged for such mistake. We need to make example of criminals and the punishments so that other “wannabe criminals” know what would they face if they follow the same path.
                                      Ye bhaichara se Saari system main gandh Machi hain.

                                          NAL but try to file a complain with ACB as well if you suspect any corruption from both sides.

                                              Legal suggestion would be to file a complaint with the police on the person who posted the info online. That is the only way your relative will get involved in the case. If you just go to SBI they will do an internal inquiry on the employee only.

                                                  Don’t let them go easy. It happened with my father too. We were selling a flat and our buyer was getting a loan from IndiaBulls. They asked my father to share bank statements to confirm whether the buyer has actually paid us. My father said he will send it in 2-3 days. The IndianBulls guys were like no can you do it today, my dad said can’t do. Then the Indiabulls guys called their contact in SBI and they asked to send over my dad’s bank statement without asking my father. My dad was pissed af. The IndianBulls guys were like oh this is not a big thing, we do it for lots of our clients to proceed and laughed. My dad registered a complaint but then since we didn’t have name or employee code who helped Indiabulls we couldn’t go any further.

                                                        Why don’t you cry and ask the mods to remove?

                                                            Just ensure that you email the SBI customer care.

                                                                                Keep the complaint on. Don’t withdraw.

                                                                                As for your relatives, cut them off. I’m sure a lawyer can find a creative way since they exposed your data on social media.

Tell him its on his head.. he can ask ur “cousin father” for money since he risked it .. Do Not take your complaint back. Get that settlment. and expose them. anytime they try to twist, shame them..

That said persuing this matter further or not is entirely upto you given the fact that it was your own relatives who started this, if you were to extract justice for this breach of privacy you have to sue your relatives too to be fair.

                                                                                                  They will give warning letter and told not to any malpractice and SOP’s of the bank.

                                                                                                  As far as compensation is concerned, u will not get more than few thousands. If u lost any money due to bank mistake, then u have to show evidence that u lost money due to bank mistake only and u will get compensation in lieu of money lost.

                                                                                                  Make a complaint to bank or others and ask for punishment and they will take action on employee.

                                                                                                  Move on boss.
                                                                                                  It is my opinion, not worth the effort of serious legal drama(Of course i love legal dramas😀).

                                                                                                  Either way, tell this community what happened next, final solution got.

                                                                                                    There is no banking without integrity at its core. Such employees shouldn’t be allowed around banking systems at all.

You have already loaned them the amount and can clearly say you can’t loan them any further. And also call out to other relatives to stay away from him explaining them how they divulged your bank details in public.

                                                                                                                Also ask him for 10 lakhs settlement WITH NO PAPERS SIGNED saying you will not put forward a complaint. 10 LAKHS IN CASH JUST ON THE BASIS OF TRUST THAT YOU WILL NOT FILE ANOTHER COMPLAINT. NO PROMISES. HIM TRUSTING YOU IS ON HIM.

You need to pursue legal action against SBI and your relative. I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice but you need to consult a lawyer and proceed with wrecking havoc. SBI needs to get their shit together and your relatives who have crossed every line need to know actions have consequences.

He is a banker that warrants an extremely high level of trust and ethical behavior. He chose to do this. He did this to you – he probably does this regularly. Can we really trust a person like this to manage billions and trillions of our countries assets and our money? With this logic – he can just debit anyone’s account and credit his account. Please don’t let this slide. Banks and especially government bank employees take things really lightly like they’re above the law and own the country.
