Why Didn't Raj Kundra Attend ED Hearing On Monday

What Has Happened In Raj Kundra's Case

Raj Kundra found himself embroiled in legal trouble in July 2021 when he was arrested by the Mumbai police on suspicion of money laundering related to the production and distribution of pornographic content. After spending time in custody, he was granted bail by the Supreme Court on December 13, 2022. The investigation led to raids in Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, resulting in the freezing of several bank accounts. During the probe, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) seized assets worth Rs. 98 Crore from Mumbai and Pune. The ED's focus remains on tracing the money trail and identifying any violations related to the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
