How did they steal money?
The gang would manage to get access to the fingerprints of people. Then, they would obtain a SIM card in their name, without their consent. They would then fake call them claiming to be agents of a financial institute.
After obtaining private and confidential information, they would steal money from their accounts. They would fetch OTP on SIM cards. Thus, they stole fingerprint data for money!
What was the role of Saudi?
The investigations unfolded that the Saudi national involved in the gang was providing primary services.
He would obtain commercial registration in the telecommunications field. He would then give out data to the Asian nationals of the gang so that they would steal money from the people.
2,000 fingerprints
