Delhi Police have dismantled an ATM fraud and fake RC syndicate, arresting three individuals. The investigation began after a complaint of fraudulent ATM card exchange and unauthorized withdrawals.
NEW DELHI: Delhi Police busted an ATM fraud and fake registration certificate (RC) syndicate with the arrest of three individuals involved in a sophisticated scam using Photoshop to forge vehicle documents.
The case was initiated on a complaint by Ikrar Salmani, who reported that two unknown men fraudulently exchanged his uncle's ATM card and withdrew Rs 43,451 from his account on May 24. Following the registration of an FIR under relevant sections of the BNS, a team launched an investigation.
By analysing over 70 CCTV camera footages, the suspects were identified. On May 31, acting on a tip-off, the team apprehended Alok Yadav (30), a resident of Gautampuri, from Nathu Colony Chowk.
A fake RC and scooter used in the crime were seized from him.
Further interrogation led to the arrest of Vipin Kumar alias Rajender (38), a broker from Loni, Ghaziabad, who revealed the involvement of
Dheeraj
Singh (31), the mastermind behind the forged RCs. "Dheeraj was found using Photoshop and a vehicle info app on his mobile to create fake documents," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Shahdara) Prashant Priya Gautam.
Recoveries include the scooter, fake number plate, five ATM cards, and mobile phones containing Photoshop data.
