Indian Authorities Freeze $4.8 Million in Coinbase User Crypto Scam Case
BlockBeats News, August 6th, the Indian Enforcement Directorate (ED) has launched an investigation into a large-scale cryptocurrency fraud case, freezing assets worth 428 million Indian Rupees (approximately $4.8 million) belonging to the alleged fraudster Chirag Tomar, his relatives, and associated entities. This enforcement action was conducted under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and involved the seizure of 18 immovable properties in Delhi and multiple bank accounts.
