The Hindu
He drew ₹1 lakh from an ATM and bought jewellery by swiping the card at a showroom in Purusawalkam
A youth was arrested on Tuesday on charges of cheating a woman of ₹1.99 lakh by swapping her debit card with another card at an ATM in North Beach police station limits. The police said P. Suganthi, 45, working in Chennai Collectorate, tried to withdraw cash from an ATM located between Rajaji Salai and Yerrabalu Chetti Street in the morning. Unable to carry out the transaction, she sought the help of a youth who was standing outside the kiosk. Pretending to help her, the youth checked the balance after getting her PIN. He surreptitiously swapped her card with another one. He told her that it was not possible to withdraw cash due to a technical fault.![](/newspic/picid-1269750-20250217064624.jpg)
When fed into Latin, pusilla comes out denoting “very small”. The Baillon’s crake can be missed in the field, when it is at a distance, as the magnification of the human eye is woefully short of what it takes to pick up this tiny creature. The other factor is the Baillon’s crake’s predisposition to present less of itself: it moves about furtively and slides into the reeds at the slightest suspicion of being noticed. But if you are keen on observing the Baillon’s crake or the ruddy breasted crake in the field, in Chennai, this would be the best time to put in efforts towards that end. These birds live amidst reeds, the bulrushes, which are likely to lose their density now as they would shrivel and go brown, leaving wide gaps, thereby reducing the cover for these tiddly birds to stay inscrutable.
