IN an incident that left netizens in splits, a stray bull entered a branch of the State Bank of India (SBI), India’s largest public-sector bank, in Unnao in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh on Wednesday (10).

A 30-second video of the incident, showing the animal roaming around freely inside the bank, went viral on social media, inviting witty reactions.

In the video, the bull is seen standing in a corner, near a board reading ‘coin and note exchange mela’ (fair for exchanging coins and currency notes). It then walked past the counters, triggering a moment of panic among the customers. People were seen huddling together seeing the unusual visitor. Security guards tried to shoo it away with a stick and advised people to move back. Some of the customers present in the bank were also seen laughing.

“Two bulls were initially engaged in a confrontation outside the bank. When one pursued the other towards the bank entrance, the open door facilitated its entry, causing a brief disturbance. Fortunately, this incident occurred during a period of lower customer presence in the bank,” News18 quoted the bank’s chief manager, Gaurav Singh, as saying.
