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.
