Former Dhari MLA Nalin Kotadiya, who is a prime accused in the controversial bitcoin extortion case, on Friday was granted conditional bail by the Gujarat High Court. Kotadiya had moved the high court after his bail plea was rejected by the sessions court in February.
The single judge bench of Justice VM Pancholi granted bail to the former MLA on the condition that he cannot enter Amreli district for the next one year. Also, the court has clarified that he will have to file an undertaking that he will not claim any bitcoin, or any amount or asset, which is recovered during the course of investigation.
