Enforcement Directorate has seized properties worth ₹ 98 crore of Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra. The action has been taken in connection with a case linked to Bitcoin Ponzi scam.
As per the investigation so far, the accused collected approximately ₹ 6,600 crore in Bitcoins in 2017 by deceiving investors. ED alleges that the promoters then cheated the investors and have been hiding the money in online wallets.
During the investigation, ED has found that Raj Kundra received 285 Bitcoins from the mastermind and is currently in possession of the same. The current value of the Bitcoins in his possession is reportedly more than ₹ 150 crore.
The attached properties include a residential flat in Juhu, registered in the name of actor Shilpa Shetty, another residential property in Pune and some equity shares owned by Raj Kundra.
Meanwhile, this is not the first legal trouble for Kundra. He was earlier in jail on allegations of the production and distribution of pornographic films. He got bail and was released by the SC.
