CoinDCX Founders Seek Bail After Complainant Retracts Grievance in Thane Fraud Case

Police say the Rs 71.6 lakh case remains under investigation as CoinDCX attributes the scheme to impersonators, citing over 1,200 fake domains.

Overview

  • The complainant told a Thane court he recovered his money from another accused and filed an affidavit stating he has no grievance, adding he does not know the two arrested founders.
  • Following the affidavit, Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal moved for bail, with the court expected to rule on their application on Tuesday.
  • Investigators said the probe continues under an FIR naming six people over a purported investment and franchise scheme that allegedly siphoned Rs 71.6 lakh.
  • Police previously detained the founders in Bengaluru and obtained their remand after producing them before a Thane court.
  • CoinDCX denies wrongdoing and says fraudsters impersonated its brand and founders using fake websites and unrelated third-party accounts, reporting more than 1,212 look-alike domains since April 2024.
