The accused identified as Mohd Sagir(31) and Govind Ram (33) were apprehended on Tuesday from Lala Jagan Nath Marg while travelling in a Santro Car. ‘During investigation it was learnt that the accused had two-fold modus operandi that was used to cheat innocent persons. One was through direct approach and other was through tele-calling,’ Ashok Chand Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) said.
One of them would pose as an executive of the bank and approach the victim to lure him into getting the credit card. In the process he would obtain details of their the present credit card being used by him.
He would also obtain victim’s e-mail address and phone numbers while getting the application form for a new credit card filled up. Later they would block victim’s SIM card and call the customer care of his bank and get the victim’s e-mail id and mobile number changed in their name.
From these accounts, both of them would then transfer the money into the various bank’s accounts opened by them through forged documents.
They were earlier employed as direct sale agents of various banks. During this job, they learnt about the intricacies of the working of online transaction and they also had access to the huge data base of customers. On leaving their job they took away with them the data base and used it to identify potential victims. They have cheated innocent victims to the tune of more than Rs 30 lacs,
