With the arrest of two persons, including a teenager, police today claimed to have busted a gang which used to dupe people on the pretext of helping them with their ATM transactions.
Two members, including the 15-year-old boy who is the alleged kingpin of the gang, were arrested last night while withdrawing money from a person's ATM card on the pretext of helping him, SSP Anant Dev Tiwari said.
Two of the accused managed to escape, Tiwari said.
