The Rouse Avenue court has issued a notice to the CBI regarding a bail plea filed by Dhruv Khattar, accused in a transnational cyber fraud case involving the defrauding of American citizens of $15 million. Special CBI Judge Mohd. Farrukh issued the notice on Friday and scheduled the next hearing for August 6.
Dhruv Khattar’s bail application, submitted by advocate Arun Khatri, marks his second attempt after his initial plea was rejected by the trial court on July 27.
Additionally, on Saturday, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Nishant Garg placed Dhruv Khattar, along with co-accused Dhairya Khattar and Abhishek Bisht, into judicial custody following their production in court after CBI interrogation. The CBI requested judicial custody for the trio.
The CBI reported that during a search of the accused’s residences on July 30, 2024, they recovered ₹17.99 lakh in cash and other incriminating materials. Earlier, on July 25, the CBI arrested 43 individuals, including four women, from Gurugram in connection with this case, alleging that US citizens were defrauded of $15 million.
