Mangaluru: Sleuth Cybercrime in Mangaluru on Wednesday arrested two Tibetans suspected of being credit card fraud.
Commissioner of the City Police of Mangaluru N Shashi Kumar said that Wing Cyber ​​Economics and Narcotics (CEN) registered a complaint from the Alexaner CD, a resident of Attavar, which pointed towards the use of a continuous Bank of India (SBI) credit card even after he gave up on the same thing.
In his complaint, nesting in September, Alexander stated that he handed over his card on March 23 after the bank increased his charges.
He then received a password once (OTP) on his phone, following the details of his credit card account collected by telephone by an individual who reportedly spoke to Alexander in Hindi.
Four days after handing over the card, Alexander learned from a statement issued by the bank that the card was misused, with a transaction worth more than Rs 1.1 lakh which was billed to his account.
The investigation of crime revealed that Rs 1.12 Lakh had been transferred through the Digital Mobikwik wallet application to two bank accounts – each in Maharashtra and at Uttar Pradesh.
Money was also transferred to the Bank Kanara DCC account, registered with the name Lobsang Sangyes, a resident of the old camp in the Tibet colony in Uttara Kannada district.
Sybsersmism Sleuths from Mangalore on Wednesday captured Lobsang, 24, and DakPa Phunde, 40, from Shar Gaden Monastery in Mundgod.

DAKPA is also accused of using Chinese applications that are prohibited such as Wechat and Red Pack, which may have been used for ‘Hawala’ transactions.
“Local agents facilitate transactions between Tibet and Mundgod.
The police examined all details, using information taken from the telephone two suspects.
We thought they got a commission for the transaction.
Because both of them are Tibetans, we have shared the information we have about them with other agents , “Shashi Kumar said.
The city police commissioner admitted that they both experienced nuts to crack.
“They refused to divulge any information, and whatever we took to use technical facilities, especially bank reports.
We obtained this data from their cellphones,” Shashi Kumar added.
