Insurance bonus lure used to cheat victim of Rs 11.72 lakh; accused gets bail
CNN Central News & Networks / ITDC India ePress / ITDC News / Agencies:
A court in Varanasi has granted conditional bail to an accused in a cyber fraud case. The accused is alleged to have cheated a person of Rs 11.72 lakh by promising a bonus on an insurance policy. After hearing the matter, the District Judge (DJ) approved bail with stipulated conditions.
According to the prosecution, the accused had assured the victim that he would receive an attractive bonus on an insurance policy. On this pretext, money was deposited from him in the name of different procedures and fees. When the victim realised he had been cheated, he lodged a complaint at the police station concerned. On the basis of the complaint, police had registered a case of cyber fraud and started an investigation.
A bail petition had been filed in court on behalf of the accused. The defence presented its arguments in support of bail, while the prosecution referred to the seriousness of the case. After hearing the arguments of both sides, the court ordered conditional bail for the accused.
Grant of bail does not mean the accused has been cleared of the allegations in the case. The hearing and investigation in the matter will continue.
