Last Updated 09 July 2018, 18:39 IST

A woman was threatened to be kidnapped for failing to share her ATM PIN, at Ashwathapura in Moodbidri on Sunday.

In the name of Vijaya Bank Manager, the woman received a call on Sunday demanding her ATM PIN.

When the woman questioned the caller as it was a Sunday, a holiday for the bank, the caller, in turn, informed her that he was on extra duty. The woman had almost given her PIN. But, suspecting the caller, she called her bank manager who asked her not to fall for such calls and got her ATM blocked.

Even after the bank manager's warning, when the woman called the caller back, he threatened to kidnap her if she failed to give him the pin. Terrified, the woman disconnected the call. The 'Truecaller' app showed that the number belonged to one Gautham.

The arrested is Andro Suresh Rodrigues. He was wanted for several cases registered in Mangaluru South police station and Mangaluru North Police station.
