Bitcoin scam: Karnataka CM says case with ED/CBI, HM says CID

Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai and Home Minister Araga Jnanendra contradicted each other on the investigation into the seemingly murky bitcoin and drugs scam.

Speaking to reporters in Hubballi, Bommai said that the state government had entrusted the probe to the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

“All that has been investigated,” Bommai said when asked about the case. “The investigation at the state-level is done. We have referred it to the ED and CBI. The investigation will continue,” he said, adding that there is no scope for anybody to interfere in the probe.
