Ankit Shekhawat, a 24-year-old B.Tech student from Rajasthan, filed a criminal petition before the Andhra Pradesh High Court seeking bail in connection with Crime No. 322 of 2025 registered at Proddatur III Town Police Station, YSR Kadapa District, for alleged offences of cheating by impersonation and cyber fraud involving a sum exceeding Rs. 3.25 crores. The petitioner contended that he was illegally detained for 35 days before formal arrest in violation of Article 22(2) of the Constitution and Section 57/167 of the CrPC, that he had no direct role in the alleged fraud, and that any confession was extracted under coercion. The State opposed bail, arguing the offences were of a serious economic nature involving organised fraud against a vulnerable citizen, and that the allegations of illegal detention and coercion were afterthoughts. The court examined the submissions of both sides and extensively reviewed the jurisprudence on illegal detention and the right to be produced before a Magistrate within 24 hours, citing the Supreme Court in Subhash Sharma and High Court precedents from Punjab & Haryana and Telangana. The judgment text as provided ends mid-analysis without recording a final operative order.
