The incident came to light on Wednesday when the complainants informed police that unknown accused was withdrawing money from their accounts from Ahmedabad. While recording their statement, almost all the complainants told the police that they had withdrawn money from the SBI ATM located in Gulmohar Colony. The incident is reportedly first of its kind in Madhya Pradesh.
“We have demanded the CCTV footage from the bank management. After receiving the footage, we would investigate people coming to the ATM in last 5-6 days. Once the police are able to identify the suspect, further investigations would be initiated by the police,” said SP, cyber cell, Shailendra Singh Chauhan.

SBI on Thursday issued a press release regarding the incident in which it urged customers to keep some precautions while doing transaction at the SBI ATM machines.
The press release issued by regional manager of SBI urged customers to cover the number pad with one hand while typing the password to prevent any external device from capturing the password by recording hand movements. It also urged customers to change the password frequently and inform the customer care numbers in the ATM in case they found something suspicious in the ATM.
