Three Held in Delhi for ATM Fraud, Over Rs 42 Lakh Recovered
Imagine some bad guys who pretend to have special ATM cards that can take money from almost any bank account.
They also find out which bank accounts have money in them.
One person, named Sandhu, uses these fake cards to take money from ATMs.
He gets paid a small amount for each time he takes money.
The main boss, Arora, gets the fake cards, and another person, Tandon, finds out which bank accounts have money.
The police caught all three of them and found a lot of stolen money with them.
The boss, Arora, has done this kind of crime before.
Delhi Police arrested three men: Simran Sandhu, Sanjeev Arora, and Vicky Tandon, for ATM fraud in West Delhi.
Over Rs 42.57 lakh in cash was recovered from the accused.
The arrested individuals operated as a coordinated module: Arora supplied forged ATM cards, Tandon provided bank account details, and Sandhu executed withdrawals.

Sanjeev Arora, the alleged main handler, has a history of cybercrime offenses, having been previously arrested by the CBI and Jabalpur police.
