Social media circuits are buzzing with the news that influencer Sandeepa Virk has been granted regular bail by the Delhi High Court in a high-profile money laundering case. Virk was accused of a massive scam, allegedly duping a woman out of nearly Rs 6 crore with the false promise of a film role.
After spending over four months in judicial custody, Virk’s legal battle took a significant turn. Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma, overseeing the bail application, noted several crucial factors. Firstly, the alleged transactions date back almost a decade (2008-2013), but the case itself was initiated much later, in 2016. The court also highlighted that when the initial police FIR was registered, Virk wasn’t even named in the chargesheet. Furthermore, a magistrate had previously found no prima facie case against her in a private complaint.
Adding another layer to the complexity, the main accused in the case, Amit Gupta, remains at large, declared a “proclaimed offender.” While Rs 6 crore was initially involved, it was noted that Gupta had returned a substantial Rs 2.7 crore to the complainant, reducing the alleged laundered amount. The court emphasized that Virk’s continued incarceration, given these circumstances and the lengthy delay, was deemed unjustified.
Virk has been directed to furnish a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh with two sureties of the like amount to secure her release. This development marks a significant moment in a case that highlights the darker side of promises made in the entertainment world and the long, winding path of legal justice.
