New Delhi: A 29- year- old youth has been arrested for allegedly cheating innocent people at the ATMs here. According to the police, accused Ashu Nain was

arrested on Saturday after an official of the State Bank of India ( SBI) in

Paschim Vihar here suspected him of wrongdoing while he was operating an ATM machine there. They said that during the investigat­ion, one mobile phone, seven ATM debit card, one shopping cash card and some bills have been recovered from the possession of accused. Detailing the modus operandi of the accused and his accomplice­s, the police said they used to take position outside the ATM cabins and wait for any person who could not operate ATM. They would then offer to help. “After taking money, they would change the ATM

debit card of the customer and remember the PIN code. They used to give

another debit card to the customer after drawing the money. Later, they would withdraw the cash from the account of that person by using the PIN as well as genuine debit card,” ACP Ranvir Singh

said.
