The police on a tip-off assemblage of some miscreants, who are involved in cyber crime, raided the place of occurrence. However, on noticing the police party, out of 19 to 20 persons, 13 were succeeded in fleeing away and six of them were apprehended. The apprehended persons disclosed the name of 14 absconded accused persons, including the petitioner. In course of search, various mobiles, sim cards and data sheets Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.61463 of 2025(2) dt.10-09-2025 2/3 were recovered. The apprehended persons confessed their involvement in causing cyber crime by impersonating themselves as Manager and Staff of a Company and after obtaining personal documents from the victim(s), they demanded processing fee and thereafter distributed the collected amount among themselves. 4. Learned Advocate for the petitioner contended that save and except the confessional statement, there is no iota of material nor any mobile phone or any incriminating material have been recovered during the raid and search done by the police personnel, belonging to the petitioner. The mobile phones and the sim cards, which were recovered, do not suggest the petitioner was in touch with any of the accused persons. The entire allegation is revolving around suspicion. Neither any victim nor complainant has come during the course of investigation alleging that he/she was subjected to fraud at the hands of the accused persons. The petitioner bears fair antecedent and he undertakes that he will fully cooperate in the investigation and the proceeding of the Court. 5. On the other hand, learned Advocate for the State submitted that the name of the petitioner has been mentioned as the organized gang member engaged in cyber offences as has Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.61463 of 2025(2) dt.10-09-2025 3/3 been disclosed by the apprehended accused persons. 6. Having noticed the submissions set forth by the learned Advocate for the respective parties and considering the absence of any prima facie material suggesting complicity of the petitioner in crime, coupled with his fair antecedent, let the above named petitioner, be released on bail, in the event of his arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M.-IV, Nawada in connection with Warisaliganj P.S.
