JAMMU, Sept 20: Excise Magistrate Jammu Umesh Sharma has rejected the bail application of a police cop namely Mohd Ramzan Reshi, who defrauded number of persons of crores of rupees on different pretexts.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “the startling revelations in the police report to the effect that the applicant/accused, who is serving as Head Constable in the Police Department, has 16 bank account in his name with transaction of around Rs 6 crore and is in touch with 10 foreign mobile numbers, point towards the seriousness of the matter at hand”.
“The investigating officer of the case has also traced the movement pattern of the accused and has found that the accused has visited many parts of the country including Mumbai, UP, Goa etc. and has used numerous mobile applications including VPN etc for communication purposes”, the court said, adding “in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, a strong prima facia case has been made out against the accused”.
“No doubt personal liberty of the accused is his constitutional guarantee but the same can be refused in accordance with the procedure established by law and is required to be balanced with the impact of the offence upon the society”, the Excise Magistrate said, adding “I am of the considered view that if the accused is granted bail, larger interest of the public and that of the state shall surely be defeated”.
With these observations, court rejected the bail application.
