Panchkula Police Arrest Two Men in ATM Fraud Case with 70 Cards and POS Machine
Panchkula police arrested two men, Manoj Kumar and Anil, for allegedly running an inter-state ATM fraud racket targeting elderly and less-educated individuals. Authorities recovered 70 ATM cards, a PhonePe POS machine, and mobile phones from the suspects. The accused reportedly tricked victims into revealing PINs, swapped cards with similar-looking ones, and used abandoned cards for unauthorized withdrawals. A case was registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and investigations continue to identify accomplices and assess the fraud's full extent across Haryana and Delhi.
