Court denies bail in ATM card scam

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Nov 26: Additional Sessions Judge Kathua Kamlesh Pandit has rejected the bail plea of Shanker, son of Om Parkash of Muzaffarnagar, who was involved in ATM card scam.
After hearing both the sides, the court said, “the investigation in the case is still going on as the offences committed by the accused person are of wide ramifications and it appears that it is not the handiwork of the accused only to commit such heinous offence and appears to be an interstate gang which the police is trying to unravel”.
“Bailing out such persons at the drop of the hat emboldens them to repeat the offences. The apprehension of the prosecution is genuine that once the accused is bailed out prematurely he would cause dent in the investigation and also will abscond”, the court said.
