With the arrest of 30-year-old Arun Kumar, police on Wednesday claimed to have busted a gang of cheats who used to clone and forge credit and debit cards of foreigners after stealing data from international banks. Arun, the kingpin of the gang, was arrested on 7 August.
Police has recovered seven card swiping machines, 26 cheque books, fake stamps, 10 PAN cards and four debit/credit cards from his possession. ‘The gang used to float fake companies, open bank accounts and obtain cards swiping machines. The cloned cards prepared after hacking and stealing bank data were then used on these machines,’ an official said.
The gang came under police scanner on 5 August after Sethumadhavan, chief manager of Nehru Place Federal Bank branch, filed a complaint regarding cheating committed by the owner of Blue Waves Technology with the help of cloned credit and debit cards in the names of various customers of the bank.
