The Directorate of Enforcement (ED), Bengaluru Zonal Office has provisionally attached movable and immovable properties worth around ₹442.35 crore under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) in the RummyCulture app case involving Gameskraft Technologies Pvt. Ltd. and associated entities.
The attachment was made through a Provisional 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 initiated the money laundering investigation based on multiple FIRs registered by law enforcement agencies in Telangana in connection with alleged cheating offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which are scheduled offences under the PMLA.
The agency had earlier 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, ED seized documents, digital devices and electronic records which it said provided crucial evidence for the investigation.
The investigation has so far revealed that Gameskraft Technologies and RummyTime Technologies operated online real-money gaming platforms, particularly rummy games and tournaments, through brands including RummyCulture, RummyPrime, Playship and RummyTime. The platforms reportedly had around three crore users across the country.
