A foreign national, the mastermind of a cyber fraud and hacking gang, was arrested from Delhi by the South Mumbai Cyber Police. The accused allegedly hacked the banking system of Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait, fraudulently transferring Rs 5.43 crore from the accounts of three clients to 78 other bank accounts in different states, and rerouted them to his account. 

Police said the bank’s senior vice-president Dev Narayan lodged a complaint with the cyber police station in August saying there were wrongful transactions from their bank account holders. According to the complaint, R5.43 crore was transferred from the accounts of three account holders to accounts of other people.
