A special public prosecutor informed a court how the SIT discovered the existence of the laptop and its usage by Sriki in police custody between November 2020 and January 2021.
The purchase of a new laptop, the procurement of three hardware crypto wallets and a digital trail that suggests the transfer of a large amount of Bitcoins are part of the evidence the SIT has found in the multi-crore Karnataka Bitcoin scam.
The BJP leader alleges police tried to hush up the incident and Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has been ‘negligent’ about the case.
A senior CID official said searches were carried out Tuesday by the SIT at locations linked to three main accused in the Bitcoin scam cases from 2019 to 2021, which were ordered to be further investigated by a CID SIT constituted by the Congress government after it came to power in the state in May this year.
A delegation led by Dr Marulasiddappa told CM Siddaramaiah that ‘if such threats are not taken seriously, the situation faced by Gauri Lankesh and M M Kalaburagi can arise again’
