"The case is separately investigated by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) as well," she said.
Earlier on June 5, Kundra was summoned by the ED in connection with the said scam. Kundra's name turned up in the report following alleged links with Bitcoin scamster Amit Bhardwaj.
According to media reports, Bhardwaj had started the country's first online marketplace which accepted bitcoins and had also started bitcoin mining start-ups.
He reportedly lured in investors with promises of hefty returns, assuring the investors of access to the bitcoin mining system that would let them mine their own bitcoins.
Kundra had allegedly promoted one of Bhardwaj's operations.

According to the police authorities, Paladiya stole 176 bitcoins worth over Rs 9 crore from his partner, Shailesh Bhatt.
