Supreme Court Denies Bail to Cyber Fraud Accused, Calls for Harsher Laws
The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, denied bail to a man accused of cyber fraud, describing cyber criminals as "parasites" who exploit victims nationwide and cause significant financial losses. The court emphasized the pan-India nature of such crimes and called for harsher laws to deter offenders. This stance follows rising cyber fraud cases in India, with losses exceeding Rs 3,000 crore and law enforcement facing challenges in addressing sophisticated scams.
