Shilpa Shetty's husband in trouble again: Juhu flat…Pune bungalow…ED seizes property worth Rs 98 crore of Raj Kundra
Mumbai: Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty's husband and businessman Raj Kundra is once again in trouble. ED has taken strong action against Raj Kundra in the Bitcoin fraud case. ED (Enforcement Directorate) has seized assets worth Rs 98 crore of Raj Kundra, which also includes a flat in Juhu and a bungalow in Pune.
ED tweeted that the immovable and movable assets worth about Rs 97.79 crore of Ripu Sudan Kundra alias Raj Kundra have been temporarily attached. Under the provisions of PMLA, 2002, this property of Raj Kundra has been attached. This also includes a bungalow in Pune and a flat in Juhu, which is currently in the name of Raj Kundra's wife Shilpa Shetty. The equity shares in the name of Raj Kundra have also been confiscated. It is known that currently doing business through cryptocurrency and Bitcoin is illegal in India, but Raj Kundra allegedly did business through Bitcoin and manipulated its transactions.
Earlier in the year 2018, the Enforcement Directorate had questioned Raj Kundra in the Rs 2000 crore Bitcoin scam case. An ED official had then told that Raj Kundra was interrogated in the case registered in Thane Crime Branch. Then the officer had said that it is not clear whether Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra has any role in the scam or whether he is a victim but now the way the property has been seized, Raj Kundra's problems may increase. Earlier, Raj Kundra was trapped in a pornography case, in which he had to stay in jail, although later Raj Kundra got bail.

Let us tell you that two businessmen from Pune, Amit Bhardwaj and his brother Vivek Bhardwaj, cheated more than 8,000 people through their company 'GainBitcoin'. In May 2018, the ED had registered a money laundering case against Gainbitcoin's Amit Bhardwaj and eight others on the basis of an FIR by Maharashtra Police. These two brothers duped investors by running an illegal crypto-money scheme by promising assured returns. Both were arrested by Pune Police on 5 April 2018.
