A resident of Plot No. 88, Smruti Nagar, Khan Square, Mohd Arshad Siddiqui Viraj (20), had gone to withdraw money from SBI ATM situated at Geetanjali Talkies Square on Central Avenue around 11.30 pm on February 6. While Mohd was withdrawing money, a con man was standing behind him and slyly noted down the PIN No. of Mohd’s ATM card.

Later, while Mohd was keeping his ATM Card in the utility box of his two-wheeler, the trickster pushed him deliberately. As a result, the ATM card of Mohd fell down.
