Ali Hasan (65) of Mistri Dafei under Birmitrapur police station in Sundargarh district on Thursday lodged the FIR stating that Rs 4 lakh was withdrawn from his account without his knowledge even as he has his ATM card with him. His son had recently asked him to give some money and when Ali gave him his ATM to withdraw money, his son found Rs 19 was only available in his account. He immediately came back to his home and told his father about non availability of Rs 4 lakh in his account.
In the FIR, he mentioned that online shopping has been done every day since December 24, 2016 by anonymous user by withdrawing money from his account. Meanwhile, the police asked the State Bank of India, Birmitrapur to give a bank statement of Ali Hasan to verify.
According to sources, while examining the bank statement, the police have come to know that Rs 2,500 was withdrawn from ATM through Ali’s ATM card on December 24, 2016 but Ali is claiming that he and his family members did not withdraw the money the same day and police therefore have asked the bank to give the CCTV footage of the ATM on that day. The police have also noticed in bank statement that from 25.12. 2016 onwards, different amount has been debited from his account towards online marketing. The police are now investigating the case to nab the culprits.
