Too Busy With My Work, Not Aware Of What Raj Kundra Was Up To: Shilpa Shetty To Mumbai Cops

The Indian Express has a copy of the statement to Mumbai Police, in which Shetty said, “Kundra started Viaan industries Limited in 2015 and I was one of the directors till 2020 when I resigned due to personal reasons.”

“I am not aware about the Hotshots or Bollyfame apps. I was too busy with my own work and hence, not aware about what Kundra was up to,” she added.

The police have claimed in the charge sheet that Kundra used the Mumbai office of Viaan Industries to run the day-to-day operations of the porn racket.

Apart from Shetty, there are statements of 42 more witnesses, some of them recorded before a magistrate, to prove the case against Kundra and Thorpe.

An officer said in the charge sheet that they have submitted evidence to show that Kundra, Thorpe, wanted accused Yash Thakur alias Arvind Kumar Shrivastava, a Singapore resident, and Sandeep Bakshi, brother-in-law of Kundra, based in the UK, were involved in running portals where pornographic content was uploaded.

The deadline to file the charge sheet in the case ends later this week, the report added.
