An FIR was registered under Section 25 of the Arms Act at the Kishangarh police station, and the accused was arrested.During questioning, Salman (son of Kabir) told police about his alleged involvement in ATM frauds and named his associate, Salman (son of Usman), who had allegedly supplied him with the illegal weapon. On his instance, the co-accused was apprehended and two live cartridges were recovered from his possession, police said.“During questioning, it was revealed that the accused used to commit ATM fraud by inserting small metallic jamming clips inside the cash dispensing shutter of ATM machines. When an unsuspecting customer attempted to withdraw money, the amount was debited from the account but cash did not come out due to the jamming device. Believing the failure to be a technical issue and expecting a refund from the bank, the customer would leave the ATM. Thereafter, the accused would remove the jamming clip and take away the cash trapped inside. To protect themselves during such criminal acts, the accused used to carry an illegal firearm,” said DCP Goel.Stay updated with the latest - Click here to follow us on Instagram© The Indian Express Pvt LtdTags:delhiDelhi Police
