While another accused is on the run, the police remained on the lookout for the involvement of more hands in the case.
The Kerala Police have taken two people into custody in connection with an ATM fraud that allegedly preyed into the “compromised cybersecurity system” of the Kerala Bank. Three days after the recently-formed scheduled State Cooperative Bank alerted the police of an ATM loot of at least ₹2.4 lakh, the Cyber Crime police nabbed two Kasaragod natives from Tamil Nadu on Thursday. While another accused is on the run, the police remained on the lookout for the involvement of more hands in the case. The extent of the theft could also increase, sources said. Sleuths involved in the probe said the bank raised alert after finding large sums of cash missing from its ATMs in various districts including Thiruvananthapuram, Kottayam and Kasaragod on Monday. In Thiruvananthapuram, the fraud is suspected to have taken place from two ATMs in the East Fort and in Nedumangad.More Related News
