1cr stolen using mobile in Meerut

Mumbai:The probe into the fraudulent withdrawal of Rs 1 crore from a Mumbaikar's account has shown that the 12 transactions siphoning off the funds were made from an IP address that has been traced to a mobile device in UP's Meerut.      The main accused used a prepaid 3G connection to access the account through his mobile banking application on January 31, said investigators. Four teams have been sent to Delhi and Uttar Pradesh from where Rs 39.5 lakh have been withdrawn from ATMs.      "Three teams are in UP to collect details of the accounts from which the money was withdrawn. Another team is in Delhi trying to locate the main accused with the help of the prepaid 3G SIM card details," said Mulund police.      Police said cosmetic company director Ankur Korane learnt about the fraud when he tried to log on to the company's current account that was opened only eight days before the fraud. "On January 31, Korane and his accountant found the password locked. So his accountant used the alternative password and found out about the fraud and told Korane," said the police.      Korane complained with the bank and the police and got the 12 accounts to which Rs 1 crore was transferred between 9.45am and 10am frozen. But money has been withdrawn through ATMs in UP. One person was arrested when he came to withdraw money from Vasai.
