By Express News ServiceBENGALURU: Yeswanthpur police have arrested two men for allegedly duping banks by withdrawing money from ATMs and creating a technical glitch, before raising complaints that they did not get money from an ATM while withdrawing. They first identified ATMs that did not have a security guard and then changed position of the security cameras installed. When the cash was dispensed, one accused held it tight but did not pull it out, while another accomplice would turn off the ATM. The accused then took the cash and immediately contacted the customer care of the bank concerned and raised a complaint. In many cases, the system also did not debit money from their account as it developed a technical error,” the police said.
