The High Court of Karnataka has rejected the plea of brother of Srikrishna alias Sriki, who is an accused in a couple of alleged cheating cases related to hacking of crypto exchanges, against the Enforcement Directorate’s (ED) action of stopping him from travelling abroad to report back to his job.
Justice S.G. Pandit passed the order while dismissing the petition filed by Sudarshan R., who is the brother of Srikrishna.
Immigration authorities at the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru on January 13 stopped Mr. Sudarshan from boarding a flight to the Netherlands, where he is employed. He had come to India to see his ailing father and was on his way back to rejoin work when he was stopped at the airport based on the lookout notice issued by the ED.
