Karnataka Court Sends Gameskraft Founders to 14-Day Judicial Custody

May 20, 2026

The founders of Gameskraft have been remanded to 14 days of judicial custody following a money laundering investigation by the ED. This order highlights ongoing scrutiny within the online gaming industry.

Judicial Custody Ordered for Gameskraft Founders

A special court in Bengaluru has ordered the remand of Gameskraft founders—Vikas Taneja, Prithviraj Singh, and Deepak Singh—to 14 days of judicial custody under a money laundering investigation led by the Directorate of Enforcement (ED). The decision from Principal City Civil and Sessions Court Judge M Chandrashekar Reddy comes as the ED continues its investigation into alleged financial irregularities and money laundering activities linked to the online gaming platform.

This ruling follows previous orders where the founders were kept in ED custody for interrogation. The case has garnered significant media attention, reflecting the growing regulatory scrutiny of the online gaming industry due to concerns over potential money laundering and financial fraud.

Legal practitioners involved in financial regulations and online gaming should monitor this case closely as it could have far-reaching implications for compliance and enforcement actions within the industry.
