The Mumbai Police who are probing a recent ATM skimming fraud here have established the identity of two foreign nationals involved in the case.
The duo was identified from the CCTV footage of the Axis Bank's ATM located outside the Maharashtra police headquarters in south Mumbai, a senior police officer said.
Sources said the two suspects were Bulgarians and they had installed a 'skimmer' in the ATM machine.
Earlier this month, a case was registered against unknown persons at Colaba police station under IT Act and IPC after 37 people, including 15 policemen, fell victim to card-cloning fraud to the tune of Rs 15.47 lakh, in which their money was withdrawn in Greece.
The police have recorded the statements of all the victims in the case.
