The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Cyber P.S. Case No. 148 of 2024, for the offences registered under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 & 120B of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 66(B), 66(C) & 66(D) of the Information Technology Act, pending in the court of Sri Manish Ranjan, learned Additional Judicial Commissioner-II-cum-Special Judge Cyber Crimes, Ranchi. The informant Manisha Prakash was added in the WhatsApp Group of Tata Investment Club, which dealt in investment in share market. At the instance of Tata Investment Club, the informant deposited Rs. 26,90,901.68 between the period 10.05.2024 to 30.05.2024 in the different accounts. Subsequently, the firm misappropriated her deposited amount. During the course of investigation, it has transpired that the informant had deposited money in the account operated by the co-accused Ankit Kumar Agarwal @ Ankit Agarwal @ Ankit Kumar Agrawal. Later on, some of the amount was transferred from the account of Ankit Kumar Agarwal @ Ankit Agarwal @ Ankit Kumar Agrawal to the account of this petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that petitioner is in custody since 28.06.2024. Learned Spl.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the bail applications of co-accused persons have been rejected by this Court earlier. Considering the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to release the petitioner, on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail stands rejected at this stage. (Ambuj Nath, J.) Jay/-
