Two arrested for cheating by changing ATM cards, many cards and weapons seized

Noida, November 14 (IANS). Noida Police Station Sector-126, while arresting two vicious gang accused of withdrawing money by changing ATM cards on the pretext of helping, has recovered ATM cards of 39 different banks, Rs 53,000 cash, illegal weapons and a bike from their possession.

Police said that on the evening of September 19, a victim had gone to withdraw money from the ATM. Meanwhile, unknown accused, in the name of helping him in withdrawing money, fraudulently changed his ATM card and gave him another ATM card. After that, Rs 1.41 lakh was withdrawn from his ATM card through different transactions. The police registered an FIR in this matter and started investigation.

Police said that on November 13, Sector-126 police station arrested the accused Ankur Thakur and Devendra Nagar during checking. 39 ATM cards, two illegal pistols, two live cartridges and the motorcycle used in the incident have been recovered from them.

The accused caught during police interrogation have told that both of them, along with another associate Sonu, withdraw people’s money by changing ATM cards. They often live near such ATMs, where illiterate or less educated people come in large numbers to withdraw money. Whenever such a person enters the ATM to withdraw money, one of these associates goes inside the ATM and stands behind that person and looks at his card password. When the person is unable to withdraw the money due to any reason, then they falsely try to withdraw the money themselves by offering his help. Meanwhile the victim’s card is replaced.

The miscreants told that the money is withdrawn after the victim leaves the ATM. When the victim gets his ATM card blocked, it is also used for further fraud. He also has a POS machine to withdraw more money from the ATM, which is owned by his partner Sonu. Illegal pistols are also carried with them to scare or fire at the time of crime.
