Criminal activity and ATM fraud in India

Overview

Authorities in India are responding to various criminal schemes targeting financial institutions and individuals. In Dhanbad, Jharkhand, police alerted banks after discovering a suspicious plate attached to a State Bank of India ATM dispenser slot, suspected to be a device used by cybercriminals. Reports indicated customers suffered losses ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 rupees without receiving cash. The Dhanbad Senior Superintendent of Police has instructed banks to strengthen security protocols, including CCTV maintenance and increased personnel.

Related criminal activities have been reported across other regions. In Rajkot, suspects allegedly used aluminium strips to trap cash inside ATM dispenser boxes, while in Telangana, thieves reportedly used an ambulance and disguises to rob an SBI ATM. Additionally, in Gujarat, an individual was arrested for impersonating a CISF Deputy Superintendent of Police to defraud people with promises of airport jobs and discounted goods.
