A Delhi court has denied bail to 18-year-old Abuzar Gaffari, a NEET aspirant accused of being involved in organized cyber fraud. The court, presided over by Additional Sessions Judge Vinod Kumar Gautam, emphasized that Gaffari's role is not merely peripheral, citing substantial evidence against him. This includes the recovery of approximately 38 ATM cards, multiple cheque books, SIM cards, and a laptop, indicating a systematic operation. The prosecution highlighted that Gaffari was involved in routing funds through multiple bank accounts, with transactions amounting to around ₹44 lakh (approximately $53,000 USD). The court expressed concerns over the possibility of witness tampering and stated that the ongoing investigation may reveal the involvement of other individuals in the conspiracy. The defense argued that the evidence was falsely planted and that Gaffari's young age should warrant bail to protect his education and future prospects. However, the court maintained that such matters require thorough evidence and cannot be decided at this bail stage.
