The interim relief was extended from time to time and was in force till the petition was dismissed on June 20. Sethi had filed an anticipatory bail plea the same day. After a preliminary hearing on Thursday, Justice V Narasingh posted the matter to July 8 for further consideration and granted Sethi interim protection against arrest till then. Justice Narasingh also sought a report on the investigation status from the CBI.

U'khand STF arrests Raj man for Rs25L cyber fraud
Dehradun: Uttarakhand Police's Special Task Force (STF) arrested a 22-year-old man from Rajasthan at Dehradun railway station on Wednesday night for allegedly duping a city resident of Rs 25 lakh. The case came to light after the victim filed a complaint against an unidentified person at the cyber crime police station in April. A case was registered under relevant BNS sections and the IT Act. During the investigation, police gathered evidence that led them to Salim Khan. DSP Ankush Mishra of the state cyber crime unit said, "Police tracked Khan, from Rajasthan's Tonk, from the railway station from where he was trying to flee the city. We found that he was operating several bank accounts during his stay in Vikasnagar area after taking IDs of unsuspecting residents." "Khan admitted to contacting the complainant via video call while impersonating a Delhi Crime Branch officer. He coerced the victim into performing objectionable acts on camera, recorded the call, and later used the footage to blackmail him, threatening to release it online. Out of fear, the victim transferred a total of Rs 25 lakh to Khan's bank accounts through multiple transactions." Police recovered one mobile phone, eight passbooks, four debit cards, and two SIM cards from Khan. The investigation is ongoing to identify and apprehend other individuals involved in the crime, if any.
