Rachakonda Cyber Crime police on Friday arrested a caregiver at an old age home who used the bank card credentials of a resident of the home for online shopping. The accused, 25-year-old M.Vinay Reddy from Uppuguda near Charminar, was employed at Ramakrishna Old Age Home, Nagole and was given the duty to take care of an elderly man in February.
