It’s been more than 10 days that actress Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra was arrested for his alleged involvement in the creation and distribution of pornographic content. Since then many murky details have surfaced. The 45-year-old businessman was sentenced to 14 days in judicial custody earlier this week. Other than that, a case has been registered against Raj Kundra and Gehana Vasisth which is being investigated by cops.
According to reports, Mumbai Police has transferred the case, which was registered at the Malvani Police Station, to the Property Cell. In a statement to ANI with regards to the Pornography case, Mumbai Police said, “Case registered against 3 producers of the company of businessman & actor Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra & actor Gehana Vasisth handed over to the Property Cell of Mumbai Police Crime Branch. The case was registered at Malvani Police Station”. The property cell filed an adult film racket case in February earlier this year after it raided a bungalow on Madh Island and arrested five people in the case, including Gehana Vasisth.
Apart from that, the crime branch has raided Shilpa and Raj Kundra’s Juhu residence and office. The branch claims to have seized around 70 porn videos and several concealed files shot and owned by Raj Kundra and his former PA Umesh Kamat. While Shilpa is also under the scanner. As of yet, the branch has not found any evidence indicating her active role in the racket.
As per the Mid-Day report, a police official said, “She (Shilpa Shetty) said that the movies available on Hotshot are not pornography but erotica. She also said that nowadays, similar content is available on the various OTT platforms and in fact, some are more obscene than what is available on Hotshot.”
