The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed a chargesheet against businessman Raj Kundra , husband of actor Shilpa Shetty, alleging that he illegally held 285 Bitcoins valued at Rs 150.47 crore. According to investigators, these Bitcoins were received from the late crypto scam mastermind Amit Bhardwaj, founder of GainBitcoin.

The case stems from FIRs registered by the Maharashtra and Delhi police against Variable Tech Private Limited and several individuals, including Amit Bhardwaj, Ajay Bhardwaj, Vivek Bhardwaj, Simpy Bhardwaj, and Mahender Bhardwaj. The group is accused of luring investors with promises of extraordinary returns through Bitcoin mining, only to defraud them and conceal the Bitcoins in secretive online wallets.
