Mysuru: Miscreants, who had robbed an elderly man of Rs. 52,400 after stealing his ATM Card in Mysuru have been arrested in Telangana.
The elderly man, who was robbed is 75-year-old Noor Ahmed, a resident of Kalyangiri Nagar in Mysuru city. It is learnt that Hyderabad Police arrested the miscreants on Jan. 11 and Noor Ahmed, following instructions from Hyderabad Police has lodged a complaint at Udayagiri Police Station, in Mysuru.
In his complaint, Noor Ahmed said that on Jan. 4, he went to the ATM kiosk on Dr. Rajkumar Road to withdraw cash to pay the house rent. When he went to the ATM kiosk, he found two men standing there, who told him that they had to withdraw large amount of cash and asked him (Noor Ahmed) to withdraw his cash.
When he withdrew Rs. 8,000 and wanted to take his ATM card from the machine, another person, who was standing in front of another ATM kiosk, pushed him on the shoulder and when he (Noor Ahmed) turned towards the person and then took his ATM card from the machine, he saw the two persons, who wanted to withdraw huge cash walking away in a hurry.
Sensing something fishy, Noor immediately went to the Bank and informed about it to the staff and then showed his ATM card to the staff, who told him that it was a fake card. The staff, then told Noor to provide his PAN number so that they would block his Bank account and ATM Card.
But when he checked his Bank account statement, he found that Rs. 52,400 had already been withdrawn. Noor said that he knew that the two persons, who were near the ATM kiosk had cheated him and assuming that he would not get the money back, he had kept silent.
But on Jan. 12, Hyderabad police called him and informed that they had arrested the ATM card thieves and asked him to lodge a complaint at the jurisdictional Police Station, the complaint added.
