Mumbai: Businessman Raj Kundra, husband of Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty, has been granted bail in the high-profile ₹150 crore Bitcoin scam case by a special court. The decision comes after prolonged legal proceedings since his arrest in connection with the alleged cryptocurrency fraud.
Kundra had been in judicial custody for several weeks before the court granted him bail on 20 February 2026, subject to certain conditions laid down by the magistrate.
The case relates to the alleged ₹150 crore Bitcoin investment fraud in which the accused are said to have induced investors to put money into a cryptocurrency platform under false promises and fraudulent representation.
Police investigations conducted so far have included forensic analysis of financial records and questioning of multiple persons connected with the purported scam. Authorities allege that the accused misled investors for personal gain.
The special court granted bail to Raj Kundra after considering his legal arguments and compliance with procedural safeguards. The court reportedly imposed conditions including surety and reporting requirements, which Kundra must follow as part of his release terms.
Kundra’s legal team has welcomed the bail order, while the prosecution has indicated it may challenge the conditions or appeal in a higher court.
The ₹150 crore Bitcoin scam case has attracted significant media attention due to the involvement of a well-known public figure. Fans and observers are closely watching how the case proceeds through the legal system, as financial fraud cases involving celebrities often generate widespread public interest.
