Cryptocurrency Receipts Alone Cannot Establish Criminal Intent Under BNSS | Pre-Arrest Bail Granted: Kerala HC
The Kerala High Court has ruled that mere receipt of cryptocurrency funds, without corroborating evidence of intent or active participation in fraud, is insufficient to deny pre-arrest bail under the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita. This sets a critical precedent for digital asset cases, protecting individuals from automatic criminalization based solely on transactional patterns in cyber fraud investigations.
