The founders of a cryptocurrency exchange who are investigated by the Karnataka CID police in a case of alleged theft of cryptocurrency from an international hacker, Srikrishna Ramesh alias Sriki, arrested in November 2020 were granted anticipatory bail by a special court on Wednesday. Sathvik V and Harish BV, founders of Unocoin Technologies Pvt Ltd, one of the earliest cryptocurrency exchanges in India, approached the special court for anticipatory bail last week fearing arrest after they were served notices by the special investigation team for appearance for questioning and following the January 25 arrest of a private cyber expert and a police officer.
