In a startling twist to modern-day crime, technology-savvy miscreants have taken their game to the next level in Ahmedabad.

In a brazen incident near the bustling Sindhu Bhavan locality, a man was abducted, not only threatened but robbed in a way that reflects the digital age—via Google Pay.

The victim, Pujan Vasoya, a 23-year-old resident of Radhey Apartment, was walking towards a cafe on September 8 when the miscreants forced him into a car and drove towards Shilaj.

The accused beat him up, and robbed him of ₹40,000 online using Google Pay.

Bodakdev police arrested Satyam Desai, Aryan Desai, and Ayush Rabari for robbing a man near the Baghban Party Plot at Sindhu Bhavan Road in Ahmedabad.
