Chandigarh, September 12The police today arrested an employee of Hindustan Petroleum at the Sector-39 petrol station and booked another for withdrawing money of customers by swiping their credit cards twice.
The amount withdrawn the second time was later taken out of the petrol station cash box by the accused. The owner of the petrol station had to refund customers who returned complaining that their cards had been swiped twice.
The police booked Pawan, alias Lucky, of Dhanas for stealing Rs 45,000 from the cash box and Suraj for duping the employer of Rs 60,000 through at least 10 fraudulent transactions.
Gaganjot Singh, the owner of the petrol station, said he got to know of the theft when a number of his customers complained. “I refunded the money to all my customers when they brought their bank statements,” he said.
“I sat down to see CCTV footage yesterday when Suraj, who had joined recently, escaped immediately. It then came to light that he had stolen at least Rs 60,000 adopting this modus operandi over the past six days,” he added. Gaganjot complained to the police. While Pawan was arrested, efforts were on to nab Suraj.
