Guwahati: Two persons belonging to Assam were arrested on allegations of them stealing ATM cards and stealing Rs 8.67 lakh from the bank accounts of a woman who died of COVID-19 last year in Coimbatore.
The duo were working as cleaners in a private hospital.
The arrested persons have been identified as Raj Panging of Lakhipathar and Atul Chgogai of Anipur.
The two allegedly stole the ATM cards of a woman soon after her death and withdrew money several times.

Krishnasamy went to the hospital’s management and learned that the cleaning staff had allegedly stolen her debit cards.
Peelamedu police filed a case under sections 379 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code in response to Krishnasamy’s complaint.
