December 31 deadline for ATM security
The city police have booked a case against Punjab National Bank for lax security at one of their ATM kiosks in Vasanthnagar, where a man confronted a woman and took her cellphone even as her friend waited outside.
The police have booked a case under Section 188 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) for violating the ATM security instructions issued by the Police Commissioner in 2013. The instructions were issued in the wake of the attack on a Corporation Bank employee in an ATM kiosk near N R Square on November 19, 2013.
The city police on Thursday met representatives of various banks to discuss ATM security. Around 30 representatives from various banks were present.
Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Alok Kumar said that, following a review of security measures at ATM kiosks across the city, the new deadline for complete compliance is December 31. He said jurisdictional police officers will evaluate the safety measures after December 31 and book cases for non-compliance.
