Actress Shilpa Shetty’s husband, Kundra, had been summoned for his links with scam-accused Amit Bhardwaj, who allegedly duped ₹2,000 crore from 8,000 people.

The ED, sometime back, had registered a criminal case under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) against bitcoin-based investment website GainBitcoin, its founder Amit Bhardwaj and eight others.
Kundra has previously been involved in an IPL betting scandal and was banned from cricket for life.
Bhardwaj reportedly was behind ventures like GainBitcoin, GBMiners, MCAP and GB21, and the investors were allegedly duped after transactions on these portals.
