Mangaluru: Fraudsters steal Rs 1.19 lakh after swapping ATM card at kiosk
Mangaluru: The Vittal Police have registered a case after unidentified fraudsters allegedly swapped an ATM card of a man at a kiosk and withdrew Rs 1.19 lakh from his wife’s bank account.
According to the complaint filed by Damodar Poojary, a resident of Urimajalu, Idkidu village in Bantwal taluk, the incident occurred at an ATM in Vittal Kasaba. Damodar, who regularly withdraws money from his wife Geetha’s account due to her ill health, had gone to the ATM to make a transaction. After withdrawing Rs 6,000, he stepped out of the kiosk, as reported by Deccan Herald.
At that moment, two unidentified men, who were inside the kiosk, called him back and, speaking in Hindi, told him that the ATM machine had not been properly closed. Trusting them, Damodar re-entered the kiosk to check the machine. When he returned, the men claimed that his ATM card had been mixed up with another one and handed him a card in exchange, while secretly keeping his original card.
Later that night, Damodar received alerts on his phone, notifying him that Rs 1.19 lakh had been withdrawn from his wife’s account without his knowledge. Realising that he had been duped, he approached the Vittal Police Station and filed a complaint, added the report.
The police have registered a case under Sections 318(2), 318(4) read with 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) 2023.
