Four Indian police officers, currently under investigation, are accused of tampering with digital assets seized from a prominent international hacker, Srikrishna Ramesh alias Sriki, who was arrested in 2020. The evidence included proceeds of criminal activities linked to the Bitcoin scam, confiscated during his arrest by the Bengaluru Central Crime Branch (CCB). The officers, Prashanth Babu, Chandradhar S R and Lakshmikanthaiah, have been accused of illegally accessing and manipulating digital assets held by Sriki and his associate Robin Khandelwal. The investigation involved an SIT from the Karnataka Police Criminal Investigation Department which discovered evidence of tampering with devices seized from the hacker.
