My brother worked for a finance company as an executive. In 2017, he resigned and got No Dues clearance. After completing all the formalities, he left the company. During his tenure, he financed around 1200+ files. As it turns out, around 7 of them are fake or forged, and the company couldn't recover its money from those customers. My brother didn't have the authority to pass the finance case on his own; he had to seek the approval of the company from its backend team. So each case was approved by its backend team, and he merely did the rest of the formalities.
The company has charged him under sections 420, 467, 468, and 471 of the IPC. He was picked up by the police two days ago. The FIR registered against him was dated a month back. Nobody ever came for any investigation or anything. He is in Dasna jail (Ghaziabad, UP) right now. My family is in utter shock and trauma. We have applied for bail in the lower court, but they are almost locked down due to the pandemic. What should we do now?

Your lawyer would definitely know what to do in urgent cases. Even if required, talk to jail officials for getting some clarifications.
