Congress Demands Details Of 5,000 Bitcoins; Accuses Bengaluru Police Of Cover-Up

Corruption investigations have rattled the BJP government in Karnataka in recent days. Congress requested explanations regarding the whereabouts of over 5,000 Bitcoins related to the suspected hacker, accusing police of a major cover-up. In November 2020, Srikrishna Ramesh was arrested for using Bitcoin to buy narcotics on the dark web. Accusations that he was involved in a bitcoin robbery at the Bitfinex exchange have been dismissed by Bengaluru police.
