Hyderabad: Customers of State Bank of India (SBI) resorted to stone-pelting following lathicharge by police personnel who wanted to control the surging crowds at the bank premises in Tolichowki, on Friday.

SBI customers were standing in serpentine queues at the bank to withdraw money early on Friday morning. Police personnel assigned to man the growing crowds resorted to lathi charge.

No injuries were reported. Additionally police personnel have been rushed-in to control the crowds and clear the traffic on the Tolichowki road.
