    On the night of Wednesday to Thursday, five men brought the dead body of 35-year-old Abdul Shakur to a private hospital in Dehradun, India. He turned out to be the organizer of the cryptocurrency pyramid, the damage from the activities of which is estimated at 4.5 billion Indian rupees, reports Times Of India .

    So, already on Friday the police managed to arrest the suspects, who spoke about how torture led to the death of Shakur. The leader of the group, which included more than five people, told his accomplices that all the bitcoins that they managed to lure from depositors were stolen as a result of a hacker attack. However, they did not believe him and began to torture him in order to gain access to funds.

    When the criminals realized that they were unlikely to be able to get the money, Shakur was already unconscious. In an attempt to bring him back to life, accomplices took him to a hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead. It is noteworthy that after this they took the body to another hospital, where they repeated the verdict. Then they tried to escape, but law enforcement agencies reacted quickly.

    One way or another, the fate of investor funds is currently unknown.

    Note that, despite the rather tough position of the Indian authorities regarding cryptocurrencies and the possibility of a complete ban, almost 10% of wealthy people in this country want to increase their positions in digital assets, because they believe that the Indian economy will face a recession. This is stated in the report of the Shanghai research company Hurun.

    Recall, according to the text of the merged bill banning cryptocurrencies in India, owners of digital assets could face up to 10 years in prison.

    “In India, it is forbidden to mine, generate, hold, sell or interact with cryptocurrencies,” the document says, which is now under consideration by the government.
