ATM card swapping fraud: Delhi police arrest two wanted in cheating case

The Delhi police arrested two individuals allegedly involved in a series of debit card swapping and online fraud incidents, including a recent case in South Delhi’s African Avenue Road area.

The suspects, identified as 24-year-old Md Sakim and 22-year-old Irfan, were apprehended by a team from the Special Staff near Police Station SB Dairy, Delhi, on March 21, 2024. The police also recovered two stolen motorcycles believed to have been used in the illicit activities.

During interrogation, Md Sakim and Irfan confessed to their modus operandi, which included using stolen vehicles to execute their schemes. In the African Avenue Road incident, they duped a victim of Rs 1.32 lakh.

They disclosed how they stole the victim’s mobile phone and ATM card during a transaction, then observed the victim’s actions to obtain both the ATM and UPI PINs. This allowed them to conduct unauthorized withdrawals and transactions amounting to Rs 25,000 and Rs 87,000, respectively.
