Raj Kundra questions ED on attachment of properties in Bitcoin scam

Businessman Raj Kundra on Tuesday questioned the Enforcement Directorate over attaching his properties in the case related to Amit Bhardwaj's Bitcoin scam.

Speaking with ANI, Kundra said that he met Bhardwaj when he was a respected businessman and had introduced him to an Israeli friend.

"That Introduction has caused me too much that my properties are attached" Kundra reflected.

"In the attachment order, it is clearly written that we have no evidence of any funds going to Raj Kundra. There was a crypto king called Amit Bardwaj, he was a respected businessman, I met him, he had to do a lot of work in bitcoin mining and I knew a friend in Israel who is a great expert in this technology. So I brought both of them together," Kundra said.

He further questioned ED authority in the investigation against him, saying, "A British citizen (Raj Kundra), I met him (Amit Bhardwaj) in Dubai and there was an Israeli party, so how is ED involved in this?"

Kundra further mentioned that he was called as a witness six years ago and provided all the facts. He expressed shock over ED attaching his properties in relation to that Bitcoin case.

"I was called as a witness 6 years ago and asked if you had some dealing with Amit Bhardwaj. I went there 6 times, I gave all the facts as a witness...Then in 2024 without any information, all my property was attached, I did not understand this. They called me again and asked the same thing as they asked 6 years ago, now what can we do? We will fight this in the Court and we will win this," Kundra said.
