According to police, the security guard and other passersby noticed the flames in the SBI branch in the Kompally area and alerted the authorities.
A police officer remarked that the bank management had informed them of a new air-conditioning unit that was set up on the premises recently.
The police, therefore, suspected a short circuit in the new unit which led to the fire and allocated a technical team to inspect the facts.
No cash or records were damaged but items, including furniture and cooling units, worth Rs 2 lakh are estimated to have been wrecked by the flames, police said.
A case has been registered in this regard.
