The mobile number referred to in the FIR also does not belong to him. Petitioner is in no way connected with the alleged cyber fraud. Accordingly, he prays for anticipatory bail. 2. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits petitioner is an employee of a micro finance company. He along with co-accused induced unsuspecting depositors to share their finger prints for loan purposes. Thereafter, the finger prints were cloned and the accounts hacked causing wrongful loss. 3.
