Supreme Court Rejects Consolidation of 35 Cybercrime Cases, Labels Offences Digital Dacoity
The Supreme Court of India refused to consolidate 35 cybercrime cases against two accused across 12 states involving the use of their company's account as a mule for fraud. The bench, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, described such cyber offences as "digital dacoity," strongly condemning organised scams targeting senior citizens through digital arrests. The court emphasized victims' rights and the importance of state-level investigations, rejecting the accused's plea to disrupt ongoing probes or consolidate cases for their convenience. The petitioners eventually withdrew their plea.
