Ever
since
Shilpa
Shetty's
husband
and
businessman
Raj
Kundra
was
arrested
on
July
19
for
the
alleged
creation
of
pornographic
content
and
selling
them
through
some
apps,
new
development
regarding
the
case
has
been
unfolding
with
each
passing
day.
The
businessman
had
applied
for
a
bail
plea,
hearing
of
which
happened
today
(July
27),
but
the
Bombay
High
Court
sent
him
to
14-day
judicial
custody.
Now,
according
to
the
latest
update
in
the
case,
the
lawyer
of
the
businessman
has
filed
for
a
bail
application
again.
Raj
Kundra's
lawyer
Subhash
Jadhav
spoke
to
Pinkvilla
about
the
same.
He
revealed
that
they
have
filed
for
a
bail
application
before
the
Magistrate
court.
He
further
added
that
the
hearing
for
the
same
is
tomorrow
(July
28).
The
Mumbai
Crime
Branch
on
July
23
had
raided
Raj
Kundra's
Viaan
Industries
office
in
Andheri,
Mumbai,
where
they
found
a
hidden
cupboard
containing
several
documents
about
financial
transactions
and
cryptocurrency.
The
police
had
also
conducted
a
six-hour
search
at
Shilpa
Shetty
and
Raj's
Juhu
residence
and
recorded
her
statement.
Shilpa
had
reportedly
denied
her
involvement
in
the
pornographic
racket
during
the
same.
Furthermore,
Shilpa
Shetty
claimed
that
the
movies
available
on
her
hubby
Raj's
app
Hotshots
are
not
pornographic
but
erotica.
The
actress
reportedly
also
broke
down
during
the
raid
and
had
an
argument
with
her
husband.
Earlier,
reports
in
ANI
also
suggested
that
Raj
Kundra
had
anticipated
his
arrest
in
March
and
had
changed
his
phone
in
March
to
dodge
the
investigation.
The
businessman
had
also
reportedly
paid
bribes
to
Crime
Branch
officials
to
escape
his
arrest.
The
Mumbai
Police
revealed
to
have
procured
Raj
Kundra's
laptop
and
SAN
(Storage
Area
Network)
box
during
the
raid.
ETimes
quoted
the
officials
revealing,
"We
accessed
48
TB
data.
Huge
data
was
deleted
once
our
case
was
filed
on
instructions
from
Raj
Kundra.
Also,
after
Kundra's
arrest,
more
data
was
deleted."
The
businessman
had
been
booked
under
sections
420
(cheating),
34
(common
intention),
292
and
293
(related
to
obscene
and
indecent
advertisements
and
displays)
of
the
Indian
Penal
Code
(IPC)
besides
relevant
sections
of
the
IT
Act
and
the
Indecent
Representation
of
Women
(Prohibition)
Act.
