Learned counsel for the petitioner has appended screenshots from the petitioner's mobile phone, which, prima facie, indicate certain monetary transactions between the petitioner and the main accused-Vijay Yadav. Mere fact that petitioner is a BAMS student at the Patanjali Institute does not, by itself, establish his innocence or entitle him to the concession of anticipatory bail. 4. Cybercrimes of the present nature have become increasingly prevalent and have serious repercussions on society. Such offences require due consideration, and no undue leniency is warranted merely on the basis of the petitioner's status as a student. 5. In the facts and circumstances of the present case, no ground for grant of anticipatory bail is made out.
