1. This first anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has been filed by the applicant, who is apprehending his arrest in connection with Crime No. 1/2024 registered at Police Station – Cyber Cell, Range Bilaspur, District – Bilaspur (C.G.) for the offences punishable under Sections 420 of IPC, 66 (C) and 43 of IT Act.
2. Case of the prosecution is that a report was lodged by Ashutosh Kumar Sharma at the concerned Police Station, pursuant to which an FIR was registered on 24.01.2024. During the course of investigation, the applicant was also interrogated. During interrogation, on the basis of the statement made by the applicant before the police and upon finding that a sum of Rs. 2,33,000/- had been deposited in the account through an online application, the applicant was implicated in the aforesaid crime.
3. Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated. In fact, the applicant himself is a victim of cyber crime, against which the applicant had lodged a report with the NCRP, which, in turn, forwarded the report to Pulgaon Police. He also contended that all the details of the bank accounts, etc., had been obtained by the other persons with whom he came in contact and by whom he was defrauded, and therefore, the bank account may have been utilized by those accused persons, who deposited the amount therein.
4. Counsel for the State would oppose this submission and would submit that after registration of the crime, during the course of investigation, police found that, it was a cyber crime and, in connection therewith, the applicant was also called for interrogation. His statement was also recorded, in which he accepted that, as he was facing financial crises, he had discussed his problem with, Mayank, who was operating the
Telegram application. After discussion with the applicant, Mayank had initially deposited a sum of Rs. 80,000/- in the account of the applicant through application. Thus, there is a connection of the applicant with the aforementioned crime.
5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties.
6. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and further considering the submission of counsel for the State that the applicant was called for interrogation, which is not disputed by counsel for the applicant, I do not find the present case to be a fit case to release the applicant on anticipatory bail.
7. Accordingly, the application is dismissed. Sd/- (Parth Prateem Sahu)
