These mule accounts were used to harm the victims and take undue advantage of the defrauded money.

The account holders knowingly committed fraud by handling their accounts and also helped in hiding and transferring the defrauded money. The applicant was arrested on 25.02.2025. Based on this information, the police registered the FIR, and pursuant to a memorandum statement, arrested the present applicant and subsequently filed a charge sheet before the competent Court of law. 3. Learned Counsel for the applicant submits that the present applicant has been falsely implicated in this case and the present applicant is young boy aged about 19 years who is preparing for NEET Examination and that no amount was seized from the applicant, nor any passbook was recovered from him. It is further argued by him that the present applicant has no criminal antecedents. He also submits that the present applicant is in jail since 25.02.2025 and conclusion of the trial is likely to take quite long time. Therefore, he prays for grant of regular bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand learned State counsel opposes the bail application of the present applicant and submits that the charge-sheet has been submitted before the competent Court in the present case and also endorse the submission made by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant has no criminal antecedents. She further submits that the allegation against the applicant is that, he has provided around 200-250 sim cards to the swindler. Therefore, it is 3 alleged that the applicant participated in the fraud, hence, the applicant is not entitled for grant of regular bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and further the fact that the allegation against the applicant is that, he has provided around 200-250 sim cards to the swindler, hence the applicant has participated in the alleged fraud, therefore, I am not inclined to grant regular bail to the present applicant. 7. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant – Dipanshu Sahu, involved in Crime No. 08/2025 registered at Police Station Cyber Police Station, Range Bilaspur, District Bilaspur (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 61, 317(5), 318(4), 323, 111(3)(4), of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, is hereby rejected. 8.
