The Jharkhand High Court has denied bail to Sahadev Uraon, who is accused of using a fabricated digital identity to perpetrate gender-based attacks against a sitting female Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA). Justice Anubha Rawat Choudhary stated that the seriousness of the allegations warranted the denial of bail, emphasizing that the use of anonymity to target a politician aggravates the offense. Uraon has been in custody since September 6, 2025, facing charges under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), 2023, and the Information Technology Act, 2000. The court directed the state to expedite witness production to ensure a timely trial. This case highlights the increasing challenge of cybercrime in India, as noted in a recent report by Meta Platforms, which identifies the country as a major target for international scam syndicates. The report indicates that the sophistication of online scams and the use of artificial intelligence for cybercrime are on the rise, making the need for robust legal action more pressing.
