Apprehending his arrest in connection with Nawalshahi P.S. Case No. 04 of 2024, instituted for the offences punishable under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 66(B)/(C)/(D) of Information Technology Act, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. It is submitted by the learned senior Counsel for the petitioner that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner used to send photograph of the girls to the persons of the locality and used to extort money from the people and the petitioner was involved in cyber fraud. It is next submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are false and vague. It is further submitted that nothing has been recovered from the possession of the petitioner. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of the confessional statement of the co-accused Sachin Sharma. It is then submitted that no one has come forward to say that he has been cheated by the petitioner. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the investigation of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.20,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Koderma in connection with Nawalshahi P.S. Case No. 04 of 2024 with the condition that he will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish his mobile number and photo copy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
