Investigations are in progress to track down Fahad, a key accomplice in the fake ATM card fraud case registered by the police here. The case pertains to the withdrawal of money from bank accounts of people by using fake ATM cards.
Fahad, said to be working in Dubai, is understood to be the brain behind the racket. He had helped Ginto Joy, who was arrested here two days ago in connection with unauthorised withdrawal of money from bank accounts of other people. The fraud came to light when a person hailing from Hyderabad, who stayed in a resort here earlier, lost about Rs. 1 lakh from his bank account.
Probe by the police revealed that Ginto Joy, who was working at the front office of the resort here, had duplicated the ATM card of the visitor to withdraw money. He had been indulging in fraud with the help of card-holders capable of taking out personal details from electronic cards.
He had been using the device on the sly whenever visitors to the resort handed over the ATM cards and credit cards for transaction.
