JAMMU, Nov 5: 2nd Additional Sessions Judge Srinagar Mohd Ashraf Bhat has rejected the bail plea of members of fake KYC gang.
“Online fraud involving cyber crime is on rise in the country. Therefore, courts should deal such matter with iron hand. Now-a-days, these offences have become much more worrying as they are being conducted through electronic means, the prevention of which requires strict and prompt action for the safety of innocent citizens”, the Judge said.
“The modus operandi of the crime suggests meticulous planning and deft execution. The petitioner as claimed by the counsel is a Postgraduate student and another petitioner is a well established businessman and instead of using their qualification or expertise for some novel purpose, they chose to earn their livelihood by cheating gullible people by using fraudulent methods”, the court said.
With these observations, court rejected the bail applications of Mohammad Hanzala Beig and Mohammad Rajab Khan.
