A Gautam Buddha Nagar Court has recently granted bail to a Chinese national namely Tsewang Dorji @ Jay accused of a Chinese Spy and Infiltrators scam.

The bail application was filed by Dorji against the arrest made by the Noida Special Task Force that had claimed to have busted a major financial scam of hundreds of crores allegedly operated by Chinese Nationals through a Hotel and Club situated at Gharbara Village, Greater Noida.

Jyotsana Singh, Additional Session Judge, District Courts, Gautam Buddha Nagar allowed the bail application stating that the case diary shows that no illegal transaction had been found to be made from Dorji's bank accounts.

The STP had alleged that hundreds of crores of rupees were being laundered through different companies in this elaborate scam. This scam has also been allegedly extended to fake loan Apps, highlighted as the latest way of online scams in recent times, and swindling of money acquired through this mode to China via Hawala transactions.

After due investigation, a charge sheet was filed in the case wherein the allegation was that Dorji acquired a forged passport. It was also an allegation that Dorji was involved with one Michael alias Jin Di who was operating this convoluted scam from China.

The bail application filed through Advocate Syed Arham Masud, with the assistance of Advocate Sudeep stated that there was no connection of Dorji in any of the modus of the scam.

Advocate Masud had argued that "even if the allegation of forged passport was seen on face value, even then, only the maker of a forged passport/document can be said to have committed the offence of Forgery as per the Sheila Sebastian Judgement of the Hon’ble Apex Court."

Advocate Masud had argued that there was no involvement of Mr. Dorji in any financial transactions in the whole wide scam. "Tsewang Dorji is a Tibetan citizen who has taken shelter in India for more than a decade with no criminal antecedents," he had submitted.
