Kanpur’s Additional Sessions Judge Anupam Singh rejected the bail plea of Vinay Pratap Singh, who was arrested for participating in a coordinated cyber‑fraud scheme that extorted Rs 57 lakh from a victim by threatening “digital arrest” through WhatsApp calls. The prosecution showed that Singh and co‑accused Jai Prakash, Shubhankar Singh, Raju Thakur and Vikram Singh operated as a gang, transferring money to multiple accounts—including Rs 24 lakh to JS Enterprises—and staying together at a hotel in Hazratganj during the fraud’s execution. Evidence from the hotel register, mobile location data and the victim’s testimony indicated a well‑planned racket, leading the court to deem the offence serious and deny bail.
