Section 438 CrPC | Custodial Interrogation Mandatory for Anticipatory Bail in Cyber Fraud Cases with Prima Facie Complicity : Punjab & Haryana HC

Punjab & Haryana HC denies anticipatory bail to an accused in a Rs. 60.5 lakh cyber fraud case, holding that custodial interrogation is essential where Rs. 8.5 lakh of fraud proceeds were deposited in the accused's account and Rs. 1.72 crore transacted within days. The ruling underscores that financial complicity in cyber fraud overrides bail considerations under Section 438 CrPC.
