4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners has submitted that petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence. They have been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that, from perusal of the FIR, it transpires that the petitioners are merely employees of Aang Institute, which is being run by one Sumit. It is further evident from the FIR that incriminating articles were recovered from the possession of Sumit. Learned counsel submits that the only allegation against the petitioners is that, while working at Aang Institute, they assisted prospective candidates by restarting their computer systems. It is further submitted that the nature of the allegations is general and omnibus. No incriminating article has been recovered from the possession of the petitioners. Moreover, a statement has been made in para 3 of the petition that petitioners have no criminal antecedent and they are languishing in judicial custody since 26.12.2025.
5. The application for bail is opposed by learned APP for the State.
