On the evening of August 28, Pritam Singh had gone to the ATM booth on Bagu main road to withdraw money. Meanwhile, a young man suddenly entered and distracted him on some pretext. On this occasion, he changed his debit card and handed him a card in the name of Praveen Sharma.
The secret was revealed by a mobile message
The next day, i.e., on the evening of August 29, when Pritam Singh’s cousin Vivek Nagar saw the messages from the bank, the matter was revealed. The message mentioned the withdrawal of about Rs. 1.75 lakh from the account on August 28 and 29. Knowing this, the family was shocked, and a complaint was immediately lodged at the police station.
Police engaged in an investigation
Dharmendra Nagar gave a written complaint at the Crossing Republic police station. Taking the matter seriously, ACP Wave City Priyashri Pal said that a case has been registered. The police are now scanning the footage of CCTV cameras installed in the ATM booth to identify the accused. Police claim that the fraudster will be traced soon.

Questions raised on security
This incident has raised questions not only on banking security but also on the security of the elderly. Due to the absence of security guards and the lack of monitoring at ATM booths, fraudsters easily carry out their game. The police investigation will make it clear how and for how long the accused kept withdrawing money from the elderly’s account.
