Phase-2 police in Noida delivered justice by collaring ATM card-switching kingpin Amiruddin, seizing 12 diverse bank cards, a banned knife, and a WagonR on March 2 at Allahabad Chowk. The arrest unravels a duo’s calculated campaign against public trust.
Amiruddin from Bulandshahr’s Chitta executed scams with precision, scouting guard-less ATMs teeming with post-salary crowds from local firms. Their hit-list prioritized volume and vulnerability.
In action, he’d stage breakdowns to grab cards, execute seamless swaps with fakes, and pilfer PINs through guile. Genuine cards vanished to remote ATMs, siphoning every paisa.
The knife ensured compliance if suspicions arose. Prior convictions paint a recidivist: 2022 Bulandshahr frauds, forgeries, conspiracies; 2023 under Gangster Act; 2026 local BNS and Arms violations.
Hunt intensifies for his collaborator as cards unlock victim trails. Cops implore: No stranger aid at ATMs, PINs stay secret. This takedown spotlights ATM perils, fueling demands for surveillance upgrades and awareness drives to shield citizens from shadowy thieves.
