New Delhi, February 21,2012: An NRI, facing court proceedings for his extradition to the US since his arrest last year for his alleged role in a bank fraud case there, was given bail by the Delhi High Court today.
Gurdev Singh Dhnoy was granted bail on a personal bond of Rs 10 lakh and two sureties of same amount by Justice V K Shali, who said the government had nothing on record that he was an accused in a criminal case. The court accepted Dhnoy’s plea that he was arrested by the Indian government on the basis of a request from the US embassy here for his provisional arrest only with no further request on his arrest forthcoming from the US. Dhnoy, arrested from the IGI Airport on March 28 last year, and some of his other associates have been facing the charges of bank and access device fraud for illegally withdrawing $ 200,000 from various banks including the Bank of America during 2001-2003. The accused persons while working with a store in Arizona had allegedly gained access to the customers ATM information of their debit cards and used small electronic device to fraudulently withdraw the money from various banks. A criminal case was registered against them in 2003, while Dhnoy had visited India to see his ailing mother last year but was arrested.
