A 40-year-old washerwoman died allegedly due to shock when on Wednesday she learnt that banks will not accept denominations of Rs 1000. The incident took place at Captainganj tehsil of Kushinagar district. Pictures of the woman’s body lying on ground along with two Rs 1,000 denomination notes and a pass book went viral on social media. She had exchanged the change for bigger denomination of two Rs 1,000 notes sometime back so that it would be easier for her to carry to the bank. The incident took place at Mahua Mafi village.
