The bail application is vehemently opposed by learned APP for the State duly assisted by learned counsel appearing for the complainant. It is stated that the first charge-sheet was filed while keeping in view the role assigned the co-accused persons while the role qua the present applicant is still under investigation. It is stated that in the present case, money was received by the accused persons on the pretext of investing the same in Roseneft Hedge Fund, based in Russia. He submits that though money was accepted, however no amount was invested in the said fund and the entire money was siphoned off by the accused persons. It is stated that investigation has revealed that so far about Rs.20 crores is the cheated amount from 120 complainants.
It is stated that the complainants are spread all across India and multiple FIRs were registered in other States as well. Insofar as the applicant is concerned, it is stated that there are statements of victims who have stated that they have met the present applicant along with the co-accused persons and on their asking have also transferred the amount directly in her personal account on multiple occasions. It is also stated that the applicant was the director in AMN Global Solutions Pvt. Ltd from where though she resigned as a director but continued as an authorized signatory and a sum of Rs.4.8 crores is stated to have been received in the aforesaid company out of which Rs.30,000/- has also travelled to her personal account after the date of her stated resignation from the post of director.

Nepal Border on account of an LOC being opened in her name. Further, while she was detained at immigration, she deleted the entire data in her mobile phone to wipe out the evidence. Lastly, it is informed that her husband Sunil Singh Chauhan has already absconded. 4.
I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. 5.
Considering that there are statements of victims specifically named the present applicant and stated that they have met the present applicant along with other co-accused and on their asking, have also transferred amounts by way of cash as well as bank transfer and the further fact that the applicant is also associated with AMN Global Solutions Pvt., initially as a director and subsequently as an authorized signatory , I find no ground to entertain the present bail application and the same is accordingly dismissed.
