The kingpin of the sensational Bitcoin scandal Srikrishna Ramesh has gone incommunicado in spite of the Karnataka government instructing the police to provide security to him.
The accused has gone into hiding after switching off his mobile phone. Even his family members seem to have no clue of his whereabouts.
Karnataka police were instructed to provide security to him on the insistence of Opposition leader Siddaramaiah who feared threat for the accused’s life.
Siddaramaiah had claimed that since thousands of crores of ruprees are involved and many powerful politicians are said to be hand in glove with the accused, there is a danger to his life.
The police department had decided to provide him with a gunman for security. When police tried to approach the accused, they could not find him. His family informed the police that Ramesh was not at home.
