Wife of ‘fake DRDO scientist’ denied anticipatory bail in Rs 7.8-crore fraud case
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has denied anticipatory bail to the wife of a man accused of a Rs 7.8-crore fraud case involving a 71-year-old victim. The main accused allegedly posed as a former Air Force personnel and DRDO scientist, luring the victim to invest in fake antique binoculars and rare radioactive substances linked to advanced rocket technology.
According to prosecutors, money from the main accused was transferred into the wife's bank account over four and a half years. The court emphasized that the investigation is at a crucial stage and that granting bail could hinder the investigation into the financial chain and the alleged conspiracy.
