A gang of cheats, allegedly involved in 50 criminal cases, was arrested by the Crime Branch.
The Crime Branch identified them as Kamal Upadhyay, Arun Kumar, Sanjay, Abbas Khan and Sandeep Dedha.
“The gang members target ladies, senior citizens and illiterate persons. They strike in a group and ensure that only two of them enter the ATM booth,” said Ravindra Yadav, Joint CP (Crime). According to the Crime Branch, the gang would offer help to gullible cardholders in facilitating their transactions and would manage to make them leave while their account was still accessible for making further transactions. Then, they would withdraw money from the account. Besides, they would procure PIN of the cardholder and exchange his or her ATM or debit card with the dummy card possessed by them.
