The Kolkata Police suspected Delhi and Romania links in Tuesday’s Kolkata Automated Teller Machine frauds that have allegedly duped customers of lakhs.
Police said the number of people defrauded had crossed 50 on Monday with video clippings procured from Delhi Police showed masked fraudsters withdrawing cash from the Capital’s Laxmi Nagar area on most of the occasions.
Senior IPS officer Murlidhar Sharma on Monday said “two FIRs have been lodged in two places in Kolkata and accordingly we have started investigation,” adding the police would soon go to the Capital to further investigate the case.
He said Romanian and Turkish gangs could be behind the frauds and were being probed. Last year similar frauds took place and 8 people of Romanian gang were arrested.
