Locker no 33

Bithika, a young bank officer on probation has been managing operations in a public sector bank that faces long queues of pension holders at the beginning of every month. Huge rush during banking hours put enormous strain on limited resources at the bank counters which sometimes force officials to adopt short cuts on matters related to scrutiny and verification routines. Bithika – although a very capable and smart officer, inadvertently overlooked a crucial verification involving client signature before allowing access to a secured vault; and it so happened that an unauthorized person accessed the vault taking advantage of that moment of indiscretion from the officer.

Within hours the bonafide client called up the bank and informed that their vault key got stolen that very morning and they requested the branch manager to deny any attempt of unauthorized access to their vault in the interim. Alarm bell rang when bank officials realized that the specific customer vault has already been breached and that too under the nose of their supervising official who never realized that something was amiss. Police stepped in and a sinister plot started unfolding in the most dramatic fashion.

What was that plot and will it offer any escape route to the young probationary officer??
