The
Crime
Branch
of
Mumbai
Police
had
arrested
actress
Shilpa
Shetty's
husband
and
businessman
Raj
Kundra
in
connection
to
a
case
that
was
registered
against
him
in
February
2021.
He
was
arrested
on
Monday
(July
19)
night
for
allegedly
making
pornographic
films
and
publishing
them
through
some
apps.
With
Kundra's
arrest,
many
shocking
revelations
about
the
pornographic
racket
have
been
unfolding
through
the
ongoing
investigation.
Now,
according
to
a
news
report
in
Times
of
India,
the
Crime
Branch
had
conducted
a
raid
in
the
businessman's
house.
The
raid
resulted
in
them
finding
70
pornographic
videos
and
a
server
from
his
house.
The
videos
retrieved
from
Raj
Kundra's
house
were
reportedly
shot
by
the
businessman's
executive
assistant
Umesh
Kamat.
The
report
further
stated
that
the
police
officials
will
be
sending
the
server
for
further
forensic
analysis
to
check
if
Kundra
used
it
to
upload
or
send
the
videos
to
the
company
Kenrin.
Apart
from
this,
the
Crime
Branch
has
also
asked
Kundra's
bank
to
hand
over
the
records
of
his
bank
accounts
for
the
last
two
years,
as
speculations
are
rife
that
he
has
been
in
this
racket
for
the
past
two
years.
Meanwhile,
a
news
report
in
Mid-Day
also
stated
that
Raj
Kundra
had
been
evading
arrest
by
allegedly
paying
a
bribe
of
Rs
25
lakh
to
Crime
Branch
officials.
The
report
further
said
that
Arvind
Srivastava
aka
Yash
Thakur
who
was
headlining
the
pornographic
racket
that
was
busted
in
March
2021,
also
complained
to
the
Anti-Corruption
Bureau
about
Raj
offering
a
bribe
to
avoid
arrest.
Thakur's
complaint
was
then
forwarded
to
the
Mumbai
Police
Chief's
office
in
April
2021,
to
which
there
was
reportedly
no
response.
Raj
Kundra
will
remain
in
judicial
custody
until
July
23.
The
businessman
is
in
custody
with
Ryan
Tharpe,
who
was
a
technology
associate
for
Kundra's
app
Hotshots.
The
police
authorities
have
also
found
a
bank
transaction
in
the
businessman's
account
from
the
Hotshots
app.
The
last
transaction
had
taken
place
in
January
2021,
a
month
before
the
police
complaint
was
filed
against
Kundra.
However,
the
Mumbai
Police
has
also
revealed
that
they
have
not
found
any
evidence
against
Shilpa
Shetty
in
the
racket.
