iX Global’s Viraj Patil released, immediately arrested again
iX Global scammer Viraj Patil managed to convince a Judge in Kolkata to grant him interim bail.
Upon release, Nagpur’s Economic Offenses Wing immediately arrested Patil and threw him back in prison.
Patil was ordered released on September 11th. The ruse Patil cooked up was that his elderly father was ill and needed to see him.
The petitioner is pressing his application for interim bail only on the ground of father’s critical ailment despite having incarcerated for 259 days, that is to say, to visit his ailing father who may not even survive to fulfill his last wish to see his son.
Bail was set as Rs. 5 million (~$60,000 USD) and Patil had to surrender his passport.
Patil was given until September 27th to flee to Dubai see his father, after which he had to surrender himself back to the court.
Upon Patil’s release from EOW Kolkata’s custody, EOW Nagpur was waiting for him. Patil was arrested again, this time in connection to an iX Global criminal case in Nagpur.
As reported by NagpurTrends on September 17th;
The case, registered at Nandanvan Police Station (Case No. 94/2024), revolves around Suraj Savarkar, who operated under the banner of IX Global.
The police have charged Savarkar and his associates under several sections, including 420 (cheating), 406 (criminal breach of trust), and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention) of the Indian Penal Code, along with Section 66D of the Information Technology Act and Section 3 of the MPID Act (1999).
As of September 17th Patil has been remanded to custody for three days. It’s unclear whether he’ll again apply for bail using the same “I need to see my father” ruse.
Articles like this make me sick. This shows how incompetent justice is in actually catching these sobs.
once time give him bail to see his father but next time don’t give bail because they looted so many people money.
all people are suffering from money. I can’t believe that type of scam he will do.
In my opinion, they have the wrong guy.
How so? Viraj Patil stole a large sum of money from consumers through iX Global. He was also central to laundering stolen iX Global funds, primarily out of India.
Patil has been arrested for stealing large sums of money from consumers through iX Global and money laundering.
Wrong guy…? Nah, they got the culprit.
Martinez could always fly to India to clear things up…
