1. This hearing has been done through hybrid mode.
2. The present application has been filed under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘BNSS’), seeking anticipatory bail in FIR No. 309/2026, registered at Police Station Cyber, South-West District, Delhi, for the offence punishable under Section 318(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘BNS’).
3. Learned counsel for the Applicant submits that the Applicant has no role in the entire incident except for the fact that his Wi-Fi connection was used, and he has no connection with the other accused persons and has not committed any cyber fraud with the complainant. He never received any amount from the account of the complainant in his account.
4. Per contra, learned APP for the State submits that three transactions of Rs. 67,500/- each were made for the purchase of Amazon gift cards, which were thereafter used for the purchase of BGMI UNIPIN gaming cards. He submits that the digital trail pertaining to the said transactions is linked to an IP address allotted to the Applicant.
5. Learned APP further submits that despite being served with the notice, he has not joined the investigation. He further submits that the other co- accused persons, after being served with the notice, have joined the investigation and since the investigation is still pending, therefore, they have not been arrested.
6. Heard learned counsel for the Applicant and learned APP for the State and perused the record.
7. Though the Applicant is stated to be of a very young age, the material placed on record reflects that three transactions of Rs.67,500/- each, aggregating to Rs.2,02,500/-, were made from the credit card of the complainant for purchase of Amazon gift cards, which were thereafter used for purchase of BGMI UNIPIN gaming cards.
8. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the custodial interrogation of the Applicant is required not only for ascertaining his role and the involvement of other persons but also for investigating the use and redemption of the gaming cards. Further, the electronic evidence is yet to be gathered and verified.
9. No ground is made out to grant anticipatory bail to the Applicant. Accordingly, the present bail application is dismissed. Pending application(s), if any, stands disposed of.
10. Needless to state, nothing stated hereinabove shall be construed as an expression of opinion on the merits of the case, and the observations made herein are confined to the consideration of the present bail application.
11. The order be uploaded on the website forthwith. MADHU JAIN, J SEPTEMBER 17, 2026/prg/m
