Kolkata, Nov 21: Two Turkish nationals arrested on the charge of withdrawing lakhs of rupees from ATMs in Tripura using cloning devices, had furnished fake documents to take a flat on rent at Belgharia near here around six months ago, police said.

They were suspected to have installed skimming devices in automated teller machines of the State Bank of India in Tripura to clone debit cards and had stolen the money.

The Turkish duo had taken the flat at the end of May and they were using it as their hideout, an officer of the Barrackpore Police Commissionerate said.

"The two used to move from one state to another to commit similar types of crime and return to the flat. They were using the two Bangladeshis as their key men. Preliminary findings hinted their links to international ATM skimming racket," the IPS officer said.

It is suspected that the two had been involved in ATM heist in Mumbai, Goa, Assam besides Tripura, he said adding that documents containing international phone numbers and several codes have been seized from their possession.

Hard disks, thousands of ATM cards were also recovered from the flat where they were staying, the police officer said.

"We are trying to find out whether anyone from the city was associated with them," he added.

The arrested four were Turkish nationals Hakan Zanburkan and Fettah Aldemir, and Mohammad Hannan and Mohammad Rafiqul Islam of Bangladesh.

Acting on inputs received from their counterparts in Tripura, West Bengal police arrested the two, besides as many Bangladeshis, from Belgharia in North 24 Parganas district in the wee hours of Tuesday.

The State Bank of India in Tripura has received 45 complaints from customers in just two days that their money was taken out from various ATMs in Agartala.

Earlier on Tuesday, two Turkish hackers had fraudulently withdrawn nearly Rs 1 crore using cloned SBI ATM cards from 45 different bank accounts in Agartala since November 15, according to a Times of India report. The theft had set off alarms in the city’s cybercrime unit, which has issued an alert to all bank customers.

Noida, Jul 28: A doctor admitted at a private hospital in Noida has been accused of sexually harassing a patient in his isolation ward, where both were undergoing treatment for COVID-19, the police said.

The 20-year-old woman, in her complaint to the police, alleged that the incident took place on Monday and based on that a case was filed at the local expressway police station, they said.

A senior police official said an investigation is underway and there might be lapses on part of the hospital which allegedly admitted a man and a woman in the same isolation ward, in violation of the norms.

The woman and the doctor had tested positive for coronavirus last week, according to officials.

"The woman was in the isolation ward of the private hospital. There was a man, a medical practitioner, who too was infected with coronavirus and was sharing the ward with her," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, Noida, Ranvijay Singh said.

He said the woman alleged molestation and upon being informed, the police immediately lodged a case and initiated a probe into the matter.

"There appears to be some irresponsibility on part of the hospital too. We are communication with the medical departments to check whether the patients were being kept in accordance with the guidelines," Mr Singh said.

He said the accused is still in isolation but the police will reach out for his statement following due protocols of COVID-19.

Ahmedabad, Jan 20: Cops in Gandhinagar fell in a catch-22 situation when a state government employee approached them with a complaint that the 26-year-old woman class teacher of his 14-year-old son had gone missing taking his son in tow. The man, who works at Udyog Bhavan in Gandhinagar said the woman had seduced his teenage son, who studies in class VIII and taken him away with her. The boy had gone missing from 4pm on Friday, and the classteacher was also missing.

A police official said the woman teacher had been too intimate with the allegedly missing boy for around a year, and the school authorities had recently rebuked them. “As their relationship was unaccepted, they left their homes on Friday,” he said. It was rare to find a case of a woman teacher eloping with her teenage student, the official added.

An FIR for elopement under Section 363 IPC has been registered with Kalol city police in Gandhinagar district. The complaint stated the teacher is a resident of Darbari chawl in Kalol town.

“When I reached home at around 7pm, I found my son missing. My wife told me he had left home at around 4pm. We searched for him in the neighbourhood and among relatives, but couldn’t trace him,” claims the teenage boy’s father in the FIR. “I went to the teacher’s house but they were not there,” the man stated.

Inspector K K Desai of Kalol city police said the missing duo could not be traced as they were not carrying cellphones.
