AHMEDABAD: Vadaj police on Saturday reported a curious case of dishonest wherein a gang of eight to 10 individuals allegedly withdrew money from ATMs in more than a few spaces of the town without the machines registering their withdrawals.
According to a complaint filed by way of Manek Chaudhari, a supervisor with a private bank located on Ashram Road, their bank had suffered a loss of over Rs 22 lakh through this new method of dishonest. He said that he got here to understand that there was an enormous difference within the money deposited in ATMs and the volume withdrawn from the same ATMs.
According to the chief, this had been happening since September closing year and consistent with the bank’s enquiry, it ran until December. A sum of Rs 22,05,500 was withdrawn from the ATMs without showing any deduction from customers’ account. When Chaudhari checked CCTV photos of those ATMs, he discovered that a gang of eight to 10 members had come inside the ATMs and considered one of them had inserted an ATM card. “As the machines began the process to withdraw money and counting of notes was on inside the ATM machines, they pulled out a cord of the device because of which money was disbursed however no amount was deducted from the account,” the chief said within the complaint.
After understanding this, the bank supervisor filed the complaint with Vadaj police. An FIR of dishonest, illegal meeting and prison conspiracy was registered.
