1.1 Ld. Counsel has relied upon Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre
Vs. State of Maharashtra 2010 (12) SCALE 691, Joginder Kumar Vs.
State of U. P. (1994) 4 SCC 260 to fortify his arguments.
ARGUMENTS ON BEHALF OF STATE
2. Per contra, Ld. Addl. PP for the State has vehemently
opposed the bail application stating that as per reply filed by IO, Cyber
Police Station South West conducted technical analysis and financial trail
examination of the data of mule bank accounts/cheque withdrawal/ATM
withdrawal obtained through NCRP/I4C and it emerged that four ICICI
Bank accounts No. 416701502649, 416701503032, 416701502459 and
416701502457 were involved in cyber fraud cheating complaints cases
and were found maintained at ICICI Bank, Kishangarh Branch. These
accounts were found actively used for receiving, rotating and
withdrawing proceeds of cyber fraud and cheating FIRs were found
registered in Kolkata and Mumbai against the said accounts. Hence,
present FIR was registered.
2.1 During investigation, account holder of ICICI Bank account
No. 416701502649 Asgar Ali was traced from Kishangarh and during
interrogation, he disclosed that he worked in Kishangarh and acted as a
mule account holder and admitted that he sold his account to
accused/applicant Ankit Singh, who escorted all account holders to banks
at the time of cash withdrawal and received the cash from account holders
and paid them commission.
2.2 At the instance of accused Asgar Ali, accused Ankit Singh
was traced and during interrogation, he disclosed that he sourced multiple

accounts/account holders for one Ravi, who paid him commission for the
same. He further disclosed that he opened all four mule accounts in the
ICICI Kishangarh Branch on the instruction of Ravi and handed over the
cash received from account holders to Ravi only.
2.3 During further investigation, accused Ravi was apprehended
and he disclosed that he used to run a fake call center where he had
employees, who made calls and dupe victims on the pretext of
investments and work from job offers. He further disclosed that he had
supplied the accounts to one Ravi Mishra and received a commission for
his role. He further disclosed that his call center was running in Kotla
Mubarakpur. Later on, raid was conducted in Kotla Mubarakpur and two
employees i.e., Kamlesh and Rajan Singh Negi were arrested at the
instance of accused Ravi. At the time of arrest, one phone was recovered
from accused/applicant Ankit Singh in which WhatsApp chats were
recovered with multiple persons wherein he was offering jobs.
2.4 Allegations against accused/applicant are serious in nature.
There is every likelihood that accused/applicant may commit further
offence, if released on bail.
Submissions heard. Record perused. I have also gone
through the judgments/orders relied upon by Ld. Counsel for
accused/applicant.
FINDINGS/CONCLUSION
3. Allegations against accused/applicant are serious in nature.
He in connivance of his associates Ravi and Shivam, used four bank

FIR No. 114/2025
	PS Cyber South West
	State Vs. Ankit Singh

accounts bearing No. 416701502649, 416701503032, 416701502459 and
416701502457 maintained in ICICI Bank, Kishangarh Branch as mule
bank accounts for the purpose of cyber fraud. Accused/applicant was also
seen with co-accused Asgar Ali while withdrawing the cheated amount
from his ICICI Bank from B-7, Vasant Kunj ICICI Branch.
Accused/applicant also took commission of Rs. 10,000/- from co-accused
Ravi Singh. Incriminating chats with co-accused Ravi Singh were also
recovered from the phone of accused/applicant wherein he was sharing
the account details of accused Dheeraj.
3.1 It is argued by Ld. Counsel for accused/applicant that co-
accused Asgar Ali, Ranjan Singh Negi and Ravi Saroj Singh, whose role
are similar to present accused, have already been admitted to bail by the
court of Ld. JMFC, however, Ld. Counsel has failed to show the bail
order of accused Asgar Ali. It is also matter of record that bail order of
accused Asgar Ali is also not available in judicial file. As far as role of
accused Ranjan Singh Negi and Ravi Saroj Singh is concerned, their role
is different from present accused. Accused/applicant was seen in the
CCTV footage at the time of withdrawal of money from ATM and his role
is much graver than the co-accused persons, who have been admitted to
bail. Hence, this argument seems to be misconceived and stands rejected
accordingly.
3.2 In Soukin Vs. The NCT State New Delhi Bail Application
No. 177/2024, Hon’ble High Court of Delhi held that all the cyber
offences are grave and serious in nature. They not only undermine the
individual dignity but also pose a serious challenge to the law
enforcement due to its clandestine and cross-jurisdictional nature.

3.3 Considering the fact that Cyber frauds are increasing day by
day and the manner in which offence has been committed, it is apparent
that accused is a part of group of persons committing Cyber frauds.
3.4 The judgments relied upon Ld. Counsel for the
accused/applicant are not applicable to the present case being
distinguishable on facts and moreover, granting bail is a discretion which
is to be exercised by the Court as per facts and circumstance of each case.
3.5 In Mansab Ali Vs. Irsan and Anr. 2003 SC 707, it has been
held by Hon’ble Supreme Court that since the jurisdiction is
discretionary, it is required to be exercised with great care and caution by
balancing valuable right of liberty of an individual and the interest of the
society in general.
3.6 In view of the above facts and circumstances of the case, I
am of the considered view that no ground is made out for grant of bail to
accused/applicant Ankti Singh. Therefore, the application moved on
behalf of the accused/applicant Ankit Singh stands dismissed.
Nothing in this order shall tantamount to an expression of
opinion on the merits of the case during trial.
Pursuant to directions issued by Hon’ble Supreme Court of
India in SMWP (Criminal) No. 4/2021 titled as In Re Policy Strategy for
Grant of Bail as well as in compliance of judgment titled as Ajay Verma
Vs. State, copy of this order be sent to Jail Superintendent through e-mail.
Copy of this order be given dasti as prayed for.
