A gang was busted and three persons, including a woman, were arrested for illegally transferring money from the bank accounts of many people here, police said today.
Yogesh Kumar, a resident of Rajiv Nagar at Begumpura, New Delhi, Rajesh Kumar, a resident of Prem Nagar, New Delhi and Sanjna, a resident of Sultanpuri under Pitampura police station in New Delhi were arrested, said Gurdaspur SSP Diljinderjit Singh Dhillon.
A car, a tablet, 109 SIM cards and four mobile phones were recovered from their possession, he added.
A number of people lodged a complaint at Hargobindpur police station on August 1, alleging that money was transferred from their bank accounts without their knowledge, said Dhillon.

Investigations revealed that the money was diverted to different bank accounts in Delhi, he said, adding that the accused used to obtain account details from the victims by posing as representatives of a nationalised bank.

The team collected images of the accused from ATM centres and fake bank accounts used by them and subsequently, raided a call centre in New Delhi from where the three accused were apprehended, said Dhillon.
