Incident timing: Alleged unauthorised access between October 9 and 15, 2026, per the FIR.
What the police complaint says
An FIR registered at CBD police station on November 12, 2026 alleges that an intruder gained unauthorised access to the bank's servers between October 9 and October 15, 2026. The intruder allegedly copied several large data files and 2,721 scanned documents. Police estimate that about 4,280 customer records containing personal information are involved. The material reportedly includes personal details, loan application records, account-opening forms, contact numbers and residential addresses.
What remains unclear
The report does not name the bank. The bank told police it is still assessing the full extent of the breach, including whether other categories of data were accessed and whether any losses occurred. The FIR names one individual or group and unidentified others. These are allegations at this stage. The claim that some records have circulated on the dark web has not been independently verified.
Why it matters
The data described here is the kind used for impersonation and loan or account fraud. Customers who receive calls or messages quoting their loan or account details should check them through the bank's official channels before sharing anything.
