3 men of a gang arrested for ATM fraud

Three men were arrested two days after a woman’s debit card was swapped with a fake one at an ATM on Sua Road in Ludhiana. Thirty-one stolen cards were recovered from them.

 

The complainant had trouble withdrawing cash from an ATM. Two of the accused men offered to help her, and swapped her card with a fake one. Later, they withdrew Rs 10,000 from her account, using the PIN (personal identification number) number she had shared with them.

 

The money has been recovered from the accused, and their bikes have been seized. While three of the accused namely Harminder Singh, Ranbir Singh and Hardeep Singh have been arrested, one is still on the run. An FIR was registered under Sections 420 (cheating), 34 (common intention) of the Indian Penal Code against unidentified accused.

 

Additional deputy commissioner of police (ADCP) BS Randhawa said, “The accused would target ATMs without a security guard, and offer to help those facing trouble carrying out transactions.” Sub-inspector Madhu Bala, the Division 6 station House Officer, said Hardeep Singh is already facing trial in one case, while eight cases have been lodged against Ranbir Singh.
