What the Case Was About
Cybercrime police found that illegal money from online scams was going into a bank account opened by a man named Ajay Kumar. Ajay had sold his bank kit and linked SIM card to someone else for five thousand rupees. That sale led to a chain of people passing bank accounts along for cash commissions, which eventually brought Sachin and Sagar into trouble as part of a cyber fraud network.
Judgment Date
31.10.2026
The Outcome
The court allowed the petitions and ordered that the petitioners be released on regular bail after submitting proper surety bonds.
What the Court Looked At
- The court noted that the petitioners were not named in the initial FIR and their names only came up through statements made by co-accused people.
- The court observed that both petitioners had already spent more than nine months in custody.
- The court pointed out that out of fourteen total witnesses, not a single one had been examined yet, meaning the trial would take a long time.
- The court highlighted that no direct victims of the cyber fraud were linked to the investigation during the police inquiry.
Whether transferring money into bank accounts without directly cheating anyone amounts to the main fraud offense will be a key question during the trial.
What This Means For You
Handing over your bank account, checkbook, and linked phone number to someone else—even for a small commission—can drag you straight into a major criminal web.

If you or someone you know has unwisely shared bank details or documents and now faces police trouble, Setback Solutions can help you understand your options and coordinate your next steps in plain, simple language.
