What statements were made during the meeting? The opposition recently accused the ruling party and the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi of “covering up the bitcoin scam.” During the Parliamentary session, the Prime Minister's representative commented on this issue, stating:
"Information in the public domain informs that a case of cybercrime involving bitcoins has been under investigation by the Karnataka police.”
The government also added that the law enforcement agencies have already taken legal actions in accordance with the legislation.
