Gujarat Police Arrest Suspects in Bank Hacking and Cyber Extortion Cases

Analysed 10 Jul 2026·2 sources analysed·Gujarat, India·Crime
Gujarat Police Arrest Suspects in Bank Hacking and Cyber Extortion CasesPreviousNext

Gujarat police have arrested multiple individuals in two separate cybercrime cases. In Bhavnagar, a syndicate exploited a software flaw in a cooperative bank's system to steal Rs 7.34 crore by manipulating dormant accounts and transferring funds to numerous accounts. Separately, authorities busted an interstate cyber extortion racket selling fake stamina medicines online, then extorting buyers by impersonating law enforcement. Investigations continue into the extent of these operations and potential impacts on other banks and victims nationwide.
