How a technical glitch made man ₹2,817cr richer
For a few surreal minutes, Vinod Dongle, a notary lawyer from Dhamnod, Madhya Pradesh, saw his demat account balloon to over ₹2,817 crore because of a technical error that priced some shares at more than ₹2 crore each.
The glitch was fixed quickly and his balance went back to normal, but it definitely made for an unforgettable story.
Dongle's joke about the moment
Dongle joked that "it felt like winning every lottery in the world" and called it "a once-in-a-lifetime moment of digital magic."
The brief windfall got people talking in his town.
Similar incident in July 2022
This isn't the only time tech has played tricks with people's accounts—back in July 2022, Ramesh Sagar from Gujarat also saw his demat account suddenly show ₹11 crore before things reset.
These odd moments are reminders that even digital platforms can have their wild days before snapping back to reality.
