Bengaluru: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has issued fresh summons to Sudarshan (31), the elder brother of Srikrishna a.k.a Sriki, who is the main accused in the Bitcoin scam.

The issue was brought to the notice of State High Court by ED on Tuesday April 19. It can be recalled here that Sudharshan had approached the High Court in January this year when he was prevented by immigration authorities to departure to Netherlands, on the basis of a Look Out Circular (LOC) issued by the ED. He further had questioned the LOC issued against him as he claimed to be not involved in crimes linked to his brother.

The ED has been trying to ascertain the location of funds stolen by Sriki and his associates. The ED has also registered money laundering cases linked to the theft of Rs 11.5 Crore from the Karnataka e-governance portal, international crypto currency exchanges, and hacking of gaming sites by Sriki and his associates.
