Sandeep, 28, was caught by a security guard at an ATM in Shahdara, the police said.
During interrogation, he told police that he would carry ATM cards of all the banks. While the people would be withdrawing money at the ATM, he would strike a conversation with them, note down their ATM pin, and press the clear button that would bring the machine to a halt for a few seconds, the police said.
On the pretext of helping the person, he would take their card and exchange it with the card he was carrying.
In some cases, he would lie to people that the cash would be dispensed by another machine. While they would go to check the other machine, he would flee with the money.
