Srinagar:- One person was today arrested for cheating a man who sought his help while making an ATM transaction in Pulwama district of south Kashmir, police said.
“A case related to ATM fraud was solved by arresting the fraudster who had fraudulently exchanged the ATM card of the victims in Pampore area last evening,” a police spokesman said.
