I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the fact that a total amount of Rs.15,59,737/- has been credited into the Account Number 296101000015137 of the present applicant at Indian Overseas Bank, Bhatapara Branch within a short span of time period and an amount of Rs.15,58,369/- has been debited by the accused persons, thereby it is evident that the applicant was involved in organized crime and the modus operandi reflects a well-orchestrated and large-scale financial fraud committed through digital platforms, causing substantial monetary loss and public harm, thus involvement of the applicant in the alleged offence appears to be reasonable and such incidents are increasing rapidly, severely impacting not only the 4 economy but also the banking system, hence, this Court does not find it to be a fit case to release the applicant on regular bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application of applicant Dayashankar Rajak involved in Crime No.398/2025 registered at Police Station Bhatapara City, District Balodabazar-Bhatapara (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 314, 317(2), 317(4), 61(2)(A), 112 of Bhartiya Nyay Sanhita & 66 (C), 66 (D) of Information Technology Act, 2000, is rejected. 8.
