Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra Contest ED's Eviction Notice in Court
The couple challenges the legality of eviction orders related to a money laundering case linked to Bitcoin fraud.
- Shilpa Shetty and Raj Kundra have approached the Bombay High Court to challenge eviction notices issued by the Enforcement Directorate (ED).
- The notices demand the couple vacate their Mumbai residence and Pune farmhouse in connection with a Bitcoin fraud and money laundering investigation.
- The couple received the eviction notices on October 3, although they were dated September 27, and have termed them arbitrary and illegal.
- The ED's investigation relates to a 2018 complaint against Amit Bhardwaj and others, with Kundra allegedly linked to the Bitcoin Ponzi scheme.
- Shetty and Kundra argue that their properties are not connected to the alleged crime, and they seek relief on humanitarian grounds, having lived there for nearly two decades.
