CoinDCX maintains that the alleged fraud did not involve its official platform, but instead occurred through a fake website impersonating the company and its founders.

Co-founders of crypto exchange CoinDCX, Sumit Gupta and Neeraj Khandelwal, were arrested after a First Information Report (FIR) was registered at a Mumbai police station in connection with an alleged cryptocurrency fraud case.

According to the complaint, a person claimed that he was cheated of Rs. 71 lakh in a crypto scam, prompting the police to initiate action.

Reports had earlier suggested that the two founders were summoned for questioning before the arrests.

Reacting to the development, CoinDCX strongly denied any wrongdoing and termed the FIR “false” and part of a larger conspiracy against the company.
