Overview
- The Danapur kiosk, which drew viral attention Monday, still looked like a working SBI ATM even though the machine had been taken out.
- Locals said the ATM was shut months ago and the landlord then leased the small booth to a barber who kept the ATM-style exterior.
- People often walked in with cards to withdraw money and instead found chairs, mirrors, and clippers set up for haircuts.
- SBI officials removed the logo and board after the video spread online, according to IANS and other outlets.
- The episode has focused attention on who must clear branding from decommissioned ATMs and on how idle kiosks in Indian cities are often repurposed for low-cost shops.
