The gang's methods were similar to those of another busted by south district police last week — the accused would deactivate the victim's mobile number by reporting its loss before emptying his account through net banking.
The gang busted last week connived with a bank executive, who provided them with the customer ID and the password (i-pin) of the customer's net banking operations. Armed with these details the accused scanned their target's Facebook profile and other social networking profiles to obtain photographs and personal details. Using the image, the gang would forge an ID card of the target and then report the loss of his mobile phone, leading to deactivation of the number
Later, the gang would get a new SIM issued for the number by showing the fake ID card. In this way, the gang would get the victim's transaction alerts while he would not. In Gautam's case, his mobile number registered with the bank was deactivated twice. The second time after he got a new SIM.
