Panchkula, March 19 -- A CBI court in Panchkula has dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of a woman accused in a human trafficking and overseas job fraud case registered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA). The accused, Manju Singh (51), a resident of Faridabad, had filed her second anticipatory bail application, which was rejected by the court. The NIA had registered an FIR in May 2024 under multiple sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 323, 342, 346, 364, 370, 420, 506, and 120-B, along with Sections 10 and 24 of the Emigration Act. According to the complaint filed by Arun Kumar, a resident of Uttar Pradesh, he and his friend came across an individual identified as Bobby Kataria through Instagram and YouTube, who claimed to provide jobs abroad. Trusting the advertisements, they contacted him via WhatsApp and later met him at his office in a mall in Sector 109. Kataria allegedly assured them of jobs in the UAE and asked for Rs.2,000 as registration charges. The complainant paid the amount and subsequently transferred Rs.50,000 to the account of MBK Global Visa Private Limited. Later, on Kataria's instructions, he transferred another Rs.1 lakh to an associate, Ankit Shaukin. The complainant was then provided with an air ticket to Vientiane, Laos. Similarly, another victim, Manish Tomar, was promised a job in Singapore and reportedly paid around Rs.2.57 lakh. Upon reaching Vientiane on March 28, 2024, the victims were transported via train and taxi to the Golden Triangle area, where they were taken to a Chinese-run company, where they were physically assaulted, their passports confiscated, and they were forced to engage in cyber fraud activities along with some American citizens. After working under duress for two days, the complainant and his friend managed to escape and contacted the Indian Embassy for assistance in returning home. Rejecting Manju's plea, the court observed that considering her role in the alleged offence, she was not entitled to the concession of pre-arrest bail....
