Delhi Police’s Economic Offences Wing today claimed to have busted a gang allegedly involved in internet banking fraud, with the arrest of two persons.
Kingpin of the gang, 39-year-old Mohammed Mirza Ali alias Sanjay Soni alias Mamu from Maharashtra’s Thane district and Ghaziabad-resident Pritam Mishra alias Preet Mishra, were arrested following a complaint by one Vijay Kher that someone had transferred Rs 20 lakh from his account. Joint Commissioner (EOW) Sandeep Goel said the gang used to procure account details of their victims and get the SIM card of their victims deactivated before transferring the sum to their account through internet banking.
‘This was done to prevent the victim from getting any alert on their mobile. Kher in his complaint with the EOW had said that someone had transferred the amount from his account, with YES Bank, through fraudulent on-line transactions during the night of 19-20 October 2012,’ Goel said. ‘The accused had managed to get a duplicate SIM card of Kher issued. Using which, they managed to get the One Time Password, provided by the bank to complete an online transaction’ Goel said.
