Though there is alleged recovery of mobile phones, ATM Cards and bank passbooks from the possession of the petitioners, yet the police has not been able to substantiate the said recovery with the commission of cybercrime by the petitioners. The petitioner no. 1 has no criminal antecedent, whereas the petitioner no. 2 has one criminal case pending against him being Bengabad P. S.

A. No. 4379 of 2020 and B. A. No. 4612 of 2020, respectively. The petitioners are in judicial custody th since 19 March, 2020 and hence they may be given the privilege of regular bail. Mr.
Ravi Prakash, learned Spl. P.
