Nagpur, India: Two criminals were caught for tampering with an ATM in the Wadi area. They would manipulate the ATM to trap customers' money and then take it later. The police identified them using CCTV footage and caught them by setting a trap.
The two arrested individuals have been identified as Roshan (also known as Monty Samuel Verma) and Palash (also known as Gochya Rajendra Meshram), both from Imamwada. On February 24, they went to the Axis Bank ATM on Khadgaon Road and used an aluminum strip to block the machine’s cash dispenser.
