Raj Kundra Gets Bail In Bitcoin Scam Case

MUMBAI– Shilpa Shetty’s businessman husband Raj Kundra has been granted bail by a special Prevention of Money Laundering Act court here, in the Rs 150 crore Bitcoin scam case.

The court has asked Kundra to provide a surety of Rs 1 lakh. The court has further instructed the businessman to take prior permission in case he wishes to travel out of the country.

After getting bail, Kundra answered a few questions from the media. During the interaction, he was asked if he had faith in the judiciary, to which he said, “Absolutely.” “Satyamev Jayate..,” he went on to add.

He was also questioned about his mask and why he has stopped wearing it now. Reacting to this, he said that it was a different time altogether, and now he will pull off the masks of others.

However, it is not clear whom the businessman was hinting at.

For a long time, Kundra used to make all his public appearances wearing masks.

Last month, the special PMLA court had summoned Kundra and New Delhi-based businessman Rajesh Satija after noting that the prosecution complaint and the record of the case prima facie indicate their involvement in money laundering activities.

Advocate Prashant Patil, who is representing Kundra in the case, shared, “Raj Kundra has always appeared before ED since 2018. He is contemplating approaching the Honorable High Court for the quashing of the summons issued in the ED matter.” (IANS)
