Overview
- Special Judge R B Rote took cognizance of the ED’s supplementary chargesheet and ordered Raj Kundra and Dubai-based Rajesh Ram Satija to appear on January 19, 2026.
- The court said there is sufficient prima facie material to proceed against both under Sections 3 and 4 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
- ED alleges Kundra received 285 bitcoins for a planned Ukraine mining venture that never materialized and still holds them, valued at over Rs 150 crore.
- The agency claims Kundra withheld wallet addresses, citing a damaged iPhone, and used low-value Juhu flat transactions with Shilpa Shetty to disguise funds, while Kundra says he was only a mediator.
- ED previously provisionally attached about Rs 97.78 crore in assets linked to Kundra and Shetty, and the filing states Satija allegedly received Rs 55 crore from Amit Bhardwaj.
