Gurugram, September 15

A local court rejected the bail plea of cricketing scam accused Chitra Bora for the second time while she continues to be in judicial custody.

The second bail application was argued before the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Amit Sahrawat yesterday. During the court proceedings, it was argued on behalf of the accused Chitra Bora that her arrest was illegal as no notice under Section 41 of the CrPC was issued to the accused by the police. However, the Investigating officer submitted before the court that notices were served to all accused, including Chitra Bora.

Advocate Jaikush Hoon, on behalf of the complainant, advanced his arguments, stating that there were three more FIRs in the name of the same accused at the IGI, Mumbai and Jodhpur police station.

Chitra Bora is the director and CEO of Secure Corporate Management Pvt Ltd wherein she reportedly received money from the transactions involved in the scam. Therefore, after hearing submissions of both parties, the court dismissed the said bail application.

On September 4, the economic offences wing had busted a gang for allegedly duping aspiring cricketers of several lakhs, promising them selection in various teams and tournaments.
