The Bhandup Police has arrested two cousins for allegedly tampering with ATM machines and duping banks of lakhs of rupees. One of the accused was caught while committing the crime.

On September 17, while counting cash in an ATM centre in Bhandup, bank officials found less cash, when compared to the total withdrawals. The same discrepancy was observed over the next two days. In the span of three days, Rs 2.58 lakh in cash was swindled from the machine. The scrutiny of CCTV camera footage revealed suspicious movement of two persons who visited the centre during all three days on multiple occasions and were seen withdrawing cash each time.
