ED Arrests Three Gameskraft Founders in Online Gaming Money Laundering Case

The Enforcement Directorate on Friday arrested three founders of Gameskraft Technologies Ltd in connection with an alleged fraud-linked money laundering case tied to online real-money gaming platforms.

Officials said Deepak Singh , Prithvi Raj Singh and Vikas Taneja were taken into custody under provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) .

Deepak Singh and Prithvi Raj Singh were arrested from the Delhi-NCR region, following which the agency obtained a transit remand to produce them before a court in Bengaluru. Taneja was arrested in Bengaluru and has already been produced before the jurisdictional court, officials said.

The arrests came after the ED registered a money laundering case against Gameskraft Technologies Ltd and associated entities based on multiple police FIRs alleging cheating and fraud linked to the company’s operations.

According to officials, the agency conducted searches at 17 locations across Delhi-NCR and Karnataka on Thursday as part of the investigation. During the raids, investigators reportedly seized several documents and electronic records relevant to the probe.

The ED alleged that the platform operated and owned various online real-money gaming applications, including RummyCulture and the rummytime app .

Officials further claimed that multiple FIRs have been filed against the company, including cases related to alleged financial fraud and instances where individuals allegedly died by suicide after suffering losses linked to the gaming platforms.

In November last year, the ED had frozen eight escrow bank accounts associated with the company, containing deposits worth Rs 18.57 crore , as part of the ongoing investigation.

The probe is currently underway, and further legal proceedings are expected in the coming days.
