On July 7, the arrested thugs had withdrawn money from the account of a woman named Israt Jahan in Fatehpur town by changing her ATM card. On July 26, money was withdrawn from Prabhat Chandra’s mother’s account after her ATM card got stuck in the machine. After the case was registered in the case, when the police got involved in the investigation, there was a shocking revelation in it. According to the ASP, these thugs used to target the customers withdrawing money by putting Fevi Quick in the ATM in a very clever way. According to ASP, Satish Kumar and Chandan Kumar told during interrogation that these people were mostly illiterate and used to target villagers.
These thugs used to change the ATM card of the people or instead of entering the card in the ATM machine, they used to apply fevi quick with a syringe. Along with this, to get help on the ATM machine, they used to write their mobile numbers with markers. Both told that when a customer’s ATM card was stuck in the machine, one of the two used to go to the ATM. He used to ask the customer about his problem and asked him to dial the numbers written on the marker on the ATM machine for assistance. His other companion standing outside used to take the complete details of his ATM and other information including PIN number from the customer on mobile call itself.
The ASP told that on the phone he used to assure the customer to send the technician. But when the technician did not come for a long time, the customer used to leave upset. Then one of the two people used to go inside the ATM and take out the ATM card from other things including knife, plastic and used the same ATM card to do online shopping and withdraw cash from the account. The accused also carried out incidents in Bihar along with Kanpur Nagar, Lucknow, Unnao, Banaras, Prayagraj, Rae Bareli and other districts.
Police is busy investigating other incidents. The police have recovered 14 ATM cards, 3 mobile phones, 6 SIM cards, Indigo car, Rs 3,49,800 in cash, fevi quick, disposal syringe, screwdriver, pliers and other equipment used by other customers from their possession. SP Ashutosh Mishra told that the distributor in Bihar provides SIM in the name of another for one thousand rupees. Both of them used the same sim.
