Nellore: The stress of handling a continuous stream of customers since the last 10 days claimed the life of a SBI deputy manager on Saturday. He was working in one of the busiest branches in the district, located near the old ZP office. The deceased, S.K. Sheriff, 46, collapsed at around 6.30 pm on Saturday. The assistant general manager of the branch, Mr Sankar Rao rushed him to the nearby Jayabharat Hospital, but it was too late.
The brother of the victim, S.K. Shajahan rushed him to the Bollineni Super Specialty Hospital but they too gave up. A native of Nellore, Sheriff is survived by his wife, a daughter studying intermediate and a son pursuing Class VII. Speaking to DC, Mr Shajahan said his brother was healthy but was very stressed because of the workload. "He was very sad since customers were looking at bankers as culprits though they had nothing to do with demonetisation and was working from 8 am to 10 pm to serve them. He was hurt when customers locked the door of the bank at 7 pm two days back preventing officials from leaving the branch," Mr Shajahan said.
