New Delhi, April 10 (IANS) A man, his brother-in-law, and their associate have been arrested for swapping ATM cards to cheat people across the national capital, a Delhi Police official said on Monday.
The accused were identified as Sonu Kumar, 27, his brother-in-law Sandeep, and Jony alias Rocky, all residents of Haryana.
The official said that they have recovered 113 ATMS cards of various bank, and two PayTm machines from the possession of the accused, and claimed to have solved 14 cases of cheating with the trio's arrest.
According to police, on March 23, a complaint regarding cheating was received at Najafgarh police station wherein the complainant stated that while she was trying to withdraw cash from ATM, two unknown men had changed her debit card.
"A total of Rs 10,500 got withdrawn from her account. A case was registered under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and investigation was taken up," Deputy Commissioner of Police, Dwarka, M. Harsha Vardhan said.
"After receiving specific inputs, on March 29, Sandeep and Jony were apprehended from Baba Haridas Nagar area. During interrogation, they confessed about their involvement in the cheating case and a total of 26 ATM cards of the various banks and a Paytm machine, which were used by them to transfer the cash from ATM cards, were recovered from their possession," said the DCP.
On their instance, police also arrested Sonu and another Paytm machine, and 87 more ATM cards of various banks were also recovered from his possession.
"Sandeep is the brother-in-law of mastermind Sonu. Jony is the ir close relative. They indulged in the crime on the instructions from Parveen, who is a resident of Khanda village in Haryana's Hisar," said the official.
"The accused also disclosed that they had learned about the said crime from Rajesh, who is presently running a gang at Lucknow," the DCP added.
During deliberations, the Chief Minister envisaged opportunities for mutual collaboration in business and solutions. He said that the alliance could provide on-field handholding to Punjab farmers in best practices of crop management.
Balkaur Singh, whose son was shot dead in daylight on May 29 close to his Moosa village in Punjab on May 28, had complained of uneasiness on Thursday night following which he was admitted to a private hospital in Patiala from where he was shifted to the PGIMER here.
Majithia told the media here that this was also necessary because the AAP government had neither made the FIR registered in this case public even after 24 hours, nor taken any action against any BJP leader or middlemen involved.
The matter came to the fore after the victim narrated the ordeal to her parents who rescued her and later approached the Women police station at Gurugram's Sector-51 and registered a case against the accused on Wednesday. The victim told the police that she had met Pooja at a Gurugram mall a month ago. Pooja had offered her a job at a doctor's clinic.
The local people and Bishal's family members claimed that he was found with multiple wounds on Wednesday. It is alleged that Bishal was killed for not agreeing to convert to Christianity in order to marry his tribal girlfriend. Though the police are yet to confirm whether the youth was killed or committed suicide, they have arrested five people in connection with the case.
According to a source with the Ministry, the diplomats see it as a question of credibility and said that such tall claims should be avoided as it hurts the credibility of the country and the government too. The source said that it has left the diplomats embarrassed.
