In a significant development from southwest Delhi, law enforcement officials have apprehended two individuals accused of ATM fraud and illegal possession of firearms. The operation unfolded on Saturday when police identified the suspects using an ATM jamming scheme to perpetrate theft.

Authorities explained that the accused employed metallic clips to obstruct ATM cash dispensers, misleading customers into believing technical malfunctions prevented cash withdrawal. As customers vacated the kiosks expecting refunds, the perpetrators would retrieve the cash.

In addition to financial misdeeds, police discovered the suspects armed with illegal firearms, purportedly for self-defense during criminal activities. A detailed investigation continues to identify further connections to other criminal activities and trace the illegal arms and ATM jamming devices.
