ED attaches assets worth ₹442 crore in RummyCulture money laundering case

The Enforcement Directorate (ED), Bengaluru Zonal Office has provisionally attached movable and immovable assets worth around ₹ 442.35 crore under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in a RummyCulture app case involving Gameskraft Technologies Pvt. Ltd. and associated entities.

The attachment was effected through an interim attachment order dated September 25 issued under Section 5(1) of the PMLA.

According to the ED, the attached assets include fixed deposits, commercial shops, a villa and several residential properties held in the names of family members, private family trusts and associated entities of shareholders of Gameskraft Technologies.

The ED has launched a money laundering investigation based on several FIRs registered by law enforcement agencies in Telangana in connection with alleged offenses of cheating under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which are scheduled offenses under the PMLA.

The agency previously conducted searches at the offices of Gameskraft Technologies and the residential premises of its directors and key employees between May 7 and 14 and again on June 20 and 21.

During the searches, the ED seized documents, digital devices and electronic records, which it said provided crucial evidence for the investigation.

Investigations have so far revealed that Gameskraft Technologies and RummyTime Technologies operated online real money gaming platforms, mainly rummy games and tournaments, through brands including RummyCulture, RummyPrime, Playship and RummyTime. The platforms reportedly had around three million users across the country.
