Vadodara Commissioner of Police Rajan Priyadarshee personally witnessed the demonstration in the presence of officials from the banks and CMS Securitas Agency, where the duo worked. The duo's method was simple, as they reported false amounts refilled in the ATMs while manually refilling it, pilfering some cash bundles in the past nine months and not fortnight as was believed earlier. Senior police officials have suggested that the entire system be revamped and security radically improved.

“The ATM counts money only when customers withdraw some amount. It does not count the amount when being refilled, which is what the duo took full advantage of,” Priyadarshee said. He added that the duo used to enter a fake amount in the ATM records, whereas the actual amount they fed into it was far lesser.

Panigate police sub-inspector A K Parmar, who is investigating the case, said that top officials from CMS demonstrated the correct way to refill the money in an ATM as compared to what the accused did, which gave the police a clear picture. “We were little surprised as to how they managed to steal Rs 1 crore without any one finding out. The mist cleared after this demonstration,” he said. The police believe that more people could be involved in the crime, including a few bank personnel.
