ORDER

The petitioner who is arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 31.05.2025 for the offences under Sections 318(4), 319(2) of BNS and Section 66(D) of IT Act in Crime No.36 of 2025 on the file of respondent Police seeks

bail.

2. The contention of the petitioner is that he was arrested on 31.05.2025. It is alleged that the petitioner, under the guise of trading, lured the defacto complainant to invest a sum of Rs.12,91,52,168/-. Believing the petitioner's representations, the defacto complainant deposited the said amount into various bank accounts through 26 separate transactions. While attempting to claim the next payment, the defacto complainant received a message stating that the account had been frozen and that only upon depositing a further sum of Rs.8 Crores would he be allowed to withdraw the total funds. It is further alleged that the petitioner had opened seven mule bank accounts with the assistance of one Dibjit, who is reportedly connected to 25 NCRP cases registered across India. Hence, the present complaint.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and he is doing nuts business for which current accounts were opened in HDFC and Bandan Banks. He further submits that he is newly married and is no way connected to the said offence. He further submitted that he is ready to abide any stringent condition that may be imposed by this Court. Hence he prayed to grant bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent Police submits that he was working along with one Dibjit and the petitioner's mobile number has been connected with a person in Uttarpradesh. The petitioner has opened 7 mule accounts in various persons' names. He was directed by one Dibjit from Dubai. He shared his KYC details to the said Dibjit through the said accounts and allowed his account to act as mule account. In this case the amount involved in online fraud is approximately Rs.12,91,00,000/-. Hence, he opposed to grant bail to the petitioner.

5. Considering the bad antecedents of the petitioner, this Court is inclined to dismiss the bail application.
