The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- A Mumbai sessions court has denied bail to 23-year-old Izhar Ansari from Jharkhand in a Rs 47.78 lakh cyber fraud case.
- The fraud began when a caller tricked Mumbai businessman Najeeb Kadar into sharing his credit card credentials after offering a fake American bank credit card.
- Transactions worth Rs 47.78 lakh were carried out using the stolen card credentials, which the fraudsters also changed through the complainant's email account.
- The court found evidence that Ansari supplied costly mobile handsets bought with the stolen card funds and received sale proceeds in his own account.
- The bail matters because additional sessions judge P B Ghuge cited the gravity of the offence and the fact that other members of the alleged syndicate remain unbooked.
What to watch next
- Arrest or chargesheeting of other accused members of the syndicate still at large.
- Trial proceedings on the chargesheet already filed under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Information Technology Act.
- Any fresh bail application or appeal by Ansari before a higher court.
