Yesterday, On 27th June, The Karnataka High Court raised concerns about senior police officers not being investigated in the Bitcoin scam while granting bail to a DSP-rank officer. The officers are accused of embezzling 31 Bitcoins valued at Rs 9 crore, which were reportedly seized from a hacker through unauthorized means. The SIT is investigating further.
The Karnataka High Court has denied anticipatory bail for two senior police officials involved in a high-profile Bitcoin scam. Inspector Chandradhara S R and Deputy Superintendent of Police Shridhar K Pujar were accused of manipulating evidence and aiding illegal activities. This decision underscores the court’s commitment to upholding the integrity of the judicial process in cases of corruption and malfeasance.
