Mumbai: The police have not established actress Shilpa Shetty’s link with husband Raj Kundra’s shady deals so far. He was arrested on Monday in a case related to the alleged creation of pornographic films.
“We have not been able to any find any active role (of Shilpa Shetty) yet. We are investigating. We will appeal to the victims to come forward and contact the Crime Branch Mumbai and we’ll take appropriate action,” joint commissioner of police (Crime), Milind Bharamactbe was quoted as saying by News18.
According to police, Kundra was involved in the streaming of porn videos through the ‘Hot Shots’ app. He allegedly sold his app to the UK-based company Kenrin Pvt Ltd owned by his brother-in-law Pradeep Bakshi but controlled activities from Mumbai. Kundra supplied the content and controlled the UK firm from his Viaan Industries office. Kundra said that he sold ‘Hotshots’ for $25,000 in 2019.
Raj Kundra (Ripu Sudan Kundra) is listed as a director in as many as nine companies. These include Cinemation Media Works, Bastian Hospitality, Kundra Constructions, J.L. Stream, Aqua Energy Beverages, Viaan Industries, Whole and Them Some Private Limited and Clearcom Private Media.
Mumbai Police said massive sums of money have been received by Kundra. His phone has been seized and some of his electronic devices are in the custody of the property cell, which has sent them to forensics. Apart from this, foreign currency too, has been seized. Mumbai Police told the court that without Kundra’s custody, it would be impossible to go ahead with the probe.
