I was accused by my previous employer of stealing a company laptop with sensitive data. I told the police (CCB) that I didn’t intend to keep it, as my employer let me take it when I left because he owed me some money. I was even willing to return the laptop, which didn’t have any data on it, but they wouldn’t take it and told me to leave. It’s been a week now and I haven’t heard anything. What’s happening with the case and what should I do next?

The CCB is likely investigating the allegations. As you were willing to return the laptop and claim there was no data on it, you should prepare a statement explaining the circumstances and your intent. It’s advisable to consult a lawyer for legal guidance on how to proceed with the investigation.

They also allege I accessed the company server using four dynamic IPs. I want to surrender and apply for bail. Is there a timeframe for getting bail in such a situation?

Previous Article Is it legal for builder Galaxy Vega in Greater Noida (West) to offer possession of flats that lack basic amenities and are incomplete? The builder has obtained a partial occupancy certificate for some towers, but the flats lack essential features such as doors, windows, electrical wiring, and basic finishing. Common amenities are also incomplete, with lifts not operational and no water connections. While the builder claims to complete the “final touches” after the apartment’s registration, at least a month’s worth of work appears to be pending.
