Overview
- The Enforcement Directorate issued a provisional attachment on November 12 covering nine properties in Delhi valued at Rs 21.71 crore.
- The properties are tied to accused Chirag Tomar, his family members, and associates Rahul Anand, Akash Vaish, and Piyush Prashar.
- With the latest order, cumulative attachments in the case stand at Rs 64.15 crore.
- U.S. authorities arrested Tomar in December 2023 over an alleged scheme that spoofed Coinbase to steal more than $20 million, and he remains in U.S. custody.
- ED findings say the operation pushed look‑alike sites via SEO, steered users to a sham contact line, drained crypto to attacker wallets, sold it on P2P platforms, and funneled proceeds into Indian accounts to buy property.
