The Indian Enforcement Directorate (ED) has filed charges against businessman Raj Kundra, accusing him of owning approximately 285 Bitcoin worth 18 million USD, which is alleged to be illegal proceeds from the late cryptocurrency scammer Amit Bhardwaj. According to the ED, this Bitcoin was originally intended for a mining farm project in Ukraine that did not succeed, and Kundra continues to hold it instead of returning it to the investors.

Authorities reported that Kundra concealed evidence, failed to provide a wallet address, and intentionally destroyed an iPhone X to hide data. He is also accused of selling assets to his wife, actress Shilpa Shetty, below market value to legitimize the source of funds. The case originated from lawsuits regarding a Bitcoin mining investment program, which promised high returns but was essentially a scam. The indictment also names businessman Rajesh Satija as an accomplice.
