Ruled in favour of Sachin and Sagar Alias Golu (Petitioners)
In Short
Two men locked up for over nine months over a cyber fraud bank account scandal asked the High Court for regular bail. The court noted that investigation was complete, no victims had come forward yet, and the long trial meant they deserved to be released on bail.

What the Case Was About
The police caught onto a cyber crime network after finding fraudulent funds deposited into a bank account belonging to a man named Ajay Kumar. Ajay admitted he had handed over his bank kit and linked SIM card to someone else for a small cash payment. That disclosure led to a chain of arrests, including Sachin and Sagar Alias Golu, who were accused of passing bank accounts and kits down the line for a commission. The police registered a case, and the petitioners spent over nine months in custody awaiting their trial.
Judgment Date
31.10.2026
The Outcome
The court ruled in favour of the petitioners and allowed their bail applications, ordering them to be released on furnishing adequate bail and surety bonds.
What the Court Looked At
- The petitioners were not named in the original police FIR and their names only popped up in statements made by co-accused people.
- Both petitioners had clean backgrounds and had spent more than nine months behind bars.
- The police investigation was already complete, but out of fourteen total witnesses, not even a single witness had been examined yet.
- The court noted that no actual victim of the cyber fraud was joined or associated during the police investigation.
- Whether simply transferring money into bank accounts without a direct cheating allegation amounts to a serious crime will be a central debate during the actual trial.
"In the facts and circumstances of the case, but without meaning to comment on merits, the petitions are allowed."
What This Means For You
Getting tempted to hand over your bank account details, bank kits, or linked SIM cards to someone else for a quick cash commission can drag you deep into a criminal conspiracy. Even if you are not the main mastermind, the police can treat you as a vital link in a cyber fraud network and lock you up for months while the investigation drags on. Always protect your personal bank accounts and identity documents, because letting someone else use them makes you a prime target for arrest. If you find yourself tangled in a similar mess, Setback Solutions can help you understand your options and coordinate your next steps plainly and clearly.
