Jagtar Singh, a 55-year-old resident of Rattoke village, was deceived by his five close friends who stole his ATM card and withdrew Rs 8 lakh from his Punjab National Bank account. The friends, identified as Akash, Chanan Singh, Gurlal Singh, Preet Singh, and Sonu Singh, had been serving liquor at Jagtar’s home months prior and somehow obtained his ATM card during that time. One of the friends, Sonu, knew the card’s password and withdrew the large sum of money without Jagtar’s knowledge or consent. Jagtar discovered the theft when he reviewed his bank statement. Chohla Sahib police were notified, and the five friends were booked under sections 318(4), 305, and 61(2) of the BNS. The friends were absconding, according to Sub-Inspector Vipin Kumar, who is investigating the case.
