On 24 May, 1971, Ved Prakash Malhotra, the chief cashier of the Parliament Street branch of the SBI received a call on his office landline. The voice on the other end introduced himself as PN Haksar, the secretary of the then prime minister Indira Gandhi. A voice "mimicking" the PM herself also spoke to Malhotra, who ended up handing over Rs 60 lakh in cash to one Rustom Sohrab Nagarwala based on that conversation.
