Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 25: CJM Jammu Amarjeet Singh Langeh has rejected the bail applications of two online fraudsters. Rejecting the bail applications of Mohammad Tahir Khan S/O Abdul Gani Khan R/O Safa Kadal Watal Kadal, Srinagar and Irshad Amed Nadaf, S/O Late Gulzar Ahmed Nadaf, R/O Safa Kadal Watal Kadal Srinagar, the CJM Jammu observed that the ongoing investigation gives a vivid account as to how petitioners devised dubious tactics to exploit and dupe complainant through an un-solicited phone call.
In the first place, by impersonating himself as one from Dubai Embassy competent enough to provide him (complainant) a business visa for Dubai and thereafter dishonestly making him to part with an amount of Rs. 3,30,000. Investigating agency has also been able to collect evidence, mostly electronic, depicting as to how aforesaid amount was duped by petitioners in five transactions. There thus is a strong prima facie evidence available on record inculpating petitioners in commission of offences under sections 420, 120-B of IPC and Section 66-D of Information Technology Act, the CJM observed.
The CJM observed that offence under section 420 of IPC is serious and non-bailable in nature. Since petitioners are alleged to have hatched conspiracy to dupe/cheat complainant, in these circumstances offence under section 120-B of IPC is also treated in law as non-bailable. The CJM observed that the modus operandi used by petitioners to target vulnerable section of society through un-solicited phone calls and by sweet offers like one as aforementioned - has deeper resonance on public at large and release of petitioners on bail at this stage will thus have an adverse impact on faith of public in the majesty of law.
