“Ramu would approach people at ATM centers and tell them that he is in urgent need of money and that his ATM card has declined withdrawals. He offered to transfer the amount to them through NEFT and IMPS transfer and would collect the cash from unsuspecting persons. To make them believe, Ramu would show a pre-edited message in his phone that the transfer was successful,” said Task Force DCP, Y V S Sudheendra.

Ramu was previously involved in 55 cases.
