PANAJI
ATM thefts made a comeback on Saturday with around four account holders of an Indian multi-national bank branch located Siolim approaching the bank claiming unauthorised withdrawal of their money, which has been traced to the UK.
Superintendent of Police (Crime) Karthik Kashyap stated that cyber crime police are in the know of the incident and are awaiting a formal complaint from the bank manager. A FIR likely to be registered on Monday.
Meanwhile, it is suspected that the customers had used their cards at the ATMs of Corporation Bank, from where data of several other customers was also stolen recently.
It may be recalled that ATM card holders had been advised by banks, Reserve Bank of India officers as well as the police to change their PIN numbers following the spate of ATM thefts in Porvorim and Panaji a month ago.
Police sources said a lot will depend on decoding of the CCTV footage secured from various bank ATMs.
