Delhi Court Denies Bail to Man Accused of Being Part of Cyber Fraud Gang
MILITARY signal, reported in IN, from hindustantimes.com, with negative sentiment. Locations: New Delhi, Delhi, India.
What Happened
A Delhi court has denied bail to Karan, a man accused of being part of an organised cybercrime gang, stating that over ₹20 lakh allegedly cheated in the case remains unrecovered. Additional Sessions Judge Rajinder Kumar dismissed Karan’s bail plea on October 15, 2025, noting that no fresh grounds had been made out since his previous bail application was rejected in May. The court cited the serious nature of the allegations, the accused’s role in the offence, and the fact that witnesses were yet to be examined as reasons for refusing bail. Karan, who was arrested in connection with a Cyber Police Station case, has been in judicial custody since August 22, 2025. Prosecution claims Karan, a freelance accountant, was contacted by Vikas to manage multiple bank accounts and Gmail IDs for ₹20,000 per month as part of a cyberfraud gang. The defence argued he was falsely implicated, the devices did not belong to him, and the investigation officer manipulated reports.
Why it matters
Karan’s continued detention affects the ongoing investigation into the cyberfraud case, where over ₹20 lakh remains unrecovered. The court’s refusal to grant bail underscores the seriousness of the allegations and the risk of witness intimidation or further fraud if he were released. Prosecution fears he could commit similar offences post-release, while the defence insists the chargesheet is incomplete and the trial will take time. The case highlights the challenges in prosecuting cybercrime networks in India.
