The accused-petitioner is a local resident of Kota and there are no criminal antecedents against the accused- petitioner. The accused-petitioner is in custody since 17.12.2024 and charge-sheet has already been produced before the concerned Court.

The charge-sheet also revealed that against the accused-petitioner, 45 cyber complaints have been lodged and the accused-petitioner has received huge amount from the other persons also, in his bank account maintained at Punjab National Bank, therefore, at this stage, it cannot be said that the accused-petitioner is not involved in the alleged crime, considering the above facts, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the accused-petitioner on bail.
