accused/A1 claiming themselves were found in possession of rare material called Iridium and also for the purpose of selling it and various investment from 1060 victims to the total extend of Rs,13.13 crores, which led to the registration of the FIR. Hence, the present case.

¶25

Crl.OP.No.34748 of 2025 actively involved and Rs.2.13 crores of cash alone was received by this petitioner from nearly 300 victims and the names of the some of the victims

was given in the counter by the respondent herein.

¶27

Considering the above nature of allegations and complexity

¶28

involved in the case and number of victims and value of money insolved, if the petitioner is granted bail, she will tamper the investigation. Hence, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
