New Delhi, Jun 05 (ANI): Businessman and actor Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra, was on Tuesday summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the Bitcoin scam. Kundra's name turned up in the report following alleged links with Bitcoin scamster Amit Bhardwaj. Kundra was questioned in the ED's Mumbai branch. According to media reports, Bhardwaj had started the country's first online marketplace which accepted bitcoins and had also started bitcoin mining start-ups.
