Ramgarh, Oct 30 Four members of an interstate gang involved in tampering with ATMs to commit online fraud have been arrested in Jharkhand’s Ramgarh district, police said on Friday.
Superintendent of Police Mukesh Kumar Lunayat said 18 ATM cards and cash were seized from their possession.
He said complaints had been received from the Patratu subdivision about fraudsters tampering with ATM machines, withdrawing cash illegally using other people’s cards and duping customers by pasting fake helpline numbers on ATMs and posing as bank officials.
Based on technical inputs and human intelligence, investigators intercepted four suspicious persons travelling on two two-wheelers near an SBI ATM in the Barkakana outpost area, busting the racket, he said.
Those arrested were identified as Manish Kumar (28), a native of UP currently living in Chhajarsi, Md Asif (30) of Bihar’s Madhubani, Suraj Kumar (37), a native of Patna currently living in Ramgarh, and Ayush Kumar (25) of Bihar’s Nawada.
All four confessed to their involvement in the crimes during interrogation, the SP claimed.
