ATM card cloning case: Debit card holders beware

By

City woman lost Rs 22,000 cash withdrawn from an ATM in Ambala Cant in fresh case 

By Dheeraj Fartode
Beware, the next time you swipe your debit card at petrol pumps. An inter-state gang of cheats are cloning ATM cards and withdrawing money. Three such incidents were reported in during the week in which gang members cloned debit cards and fraudulently withdrew Rs. 1 lakh, Rs 22,000 and Rs 7,000 from accounts of three persons. The money was withdrawn from ATMs in Haryana and Himachal Pradesh. 
The ill-trained sleuths at cyber cell of city police are still working on the case as usual and yet to made any headway in the case after a week. 
Sonali Ganesh Tiwari, a resident of Plot no 8, Modern Housing Society, Chhattrapati Nagar, has account at State Bank of India (SBI), Bajaj Nagar branch. She told ‘The Hitavada’ that she received a SMS on her mobile phone on February 7 at 12.40 am about withdrawal of Rs 22,000. She immediately rushed to an ATM and checked balance which was just Rs 1. 
She immediately rushed to bank branch and informed about the incident. The branch manager took the complaint and informed Sonali that money was withdrawn from ATM situated at Ambala Cantonment in Haryana.
Sonali went to Ambazari police station and submitted a complaint. Shockingly duty officer of the police station asked Sonali to lodged her FIR at Haryana. After some arguments the duty officer relented and registered the complaint. 
The Ambazari police only registered the case after they came to know about similarly FIR registered in other two incidents that had occurred in the city. 
Police Inspector of Ambazari police station Anil Katkhade said that Sonali and two others had swiped their debit cards at Indian Oil petrol pump at Abhaynkar Nagar on the same day. However police have not bothered to fastrack investigations and simply sitting upon the complaints.
Sonali Tiwari said she also met Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP-Crime) Sunil Kolhe and urged him to help her in the case as the amount is quite big for her.
The other two complainants include that of T Subramanium who has lost Rs. 1 lakh and Charanjit Singh who lost Rs. 7,000. Subramanium debit card was of Axis Bank and the withdrawal was made from cloned card in Chandigarh and in case of Singh the place where withdrawal was done is in Ambala Cant.

IGP Prasanna : The man who stopped Obama’s convoy

By
IGP Mallikarjuna Prasanna By Dheeraj Fartode  Published on Feb/17/2019 NOT many are aware of an episode during the then US President Barack Obama’s visit to India in 2010. The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script als...

Longest cable-stayed bridge to boost tourism at Ambhora

By
CONSTRUCTION work of 700-metre-long cable-stayed bridge, longest in the country, with a viewing gallery at the top at Ambhora in Kuhi tehsil is near completion. The bridge would be open for traffic in December this year providing a major boost to tourism at Shree Chaitanyeshwar Mahadev temple at Ambhora. It is set to open doors of development for the backward area of Kuhi and Umred tehsil. Ambhora, located 75 km from Nagpur city, is a famous religious and tourist place in Vidarbha. It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza. Just around a decade ago the river bank housing Ambhora used to see a flux of tourists from all over the State. However, the banks were submerged in water after the construction of Gosikhurd dam which led to rise in water levels. Since then, tourist flow at Ambhora has also declined. However, now with the construction of the new bridge tourists will get a chance see the scenic backwaters across the river bed which is...
