Businessman Raj Kundra took to his Instagram stories on Friday afternoon to share a cryptic post. Shilpa Shetty’s husband shared a picture with a quote that read, “There is a time to be a nice person. And there’s time to say enough is enough.” The post comes a day after the Enforcement Directorate seized his and Shilpa’s properties worth Rs 97.79 crore in connection with a bitcoin fraud case.
Earlier today too, Raj shared a picture of a lion roaring on his Instagram stories and spoke about remaining calm despite feeling disrespected. “Learning to stay calm when you feel disrespected is a different type of growth,” his post read.
On Thursday, ED seized Raj Kundra’s properties worth Rs 97.79 crore. The attached properties include a residential flat in Mumbai’s Juhu, in the name of his wife Shilpa Shetty. Another property is a residential bungalow in Pune and Equity shares in the name of Raj Kundra, the ED said.
The agency said in a statement that the Mumbai zonal office of ED has provisionally attached immovable and movable properties of Kundra under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), 2002. It has been alleged that Kundra along with others collected huge amounts of funds in the form of bitcoins (worth Rs 6,600 crore in 2017) from the “gullible public with the false promises of 10 per cent per month return in the form of bitcoins”.
Later, the couple issued a statement via their lawyer and argued that they were ready to cooperate with the concerned authorities. They hoped for “fair investigation” and stated that they had full faith in the Indian judiciary system.
“We shall follow the due process of law and take necessary steps as prescribed under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act to protect the liberty and property of my clients. On the face of it, there is no prima facie case made out against my clients Mr Raj Kundra and Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra,” their statement read.
“We have complete faith in the Honourable Judiciary. I believe when we make our fair representation before the Honourable Enforcement Directorate, even the investigation agencies may grant justice to us. We have faith in the fair investigation. We stand committed to cooperating with the authorities as and when required,” it added.
