Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra is currently in the news after he was arrested in a pornography case. On July 19, Mumbai Police arrested Raj after being named as the ‘key conspirator’ in the case. He has been sent to judicial custody till July 23 along with his partner Ryan Tharp, who was also arrested in the same case. The case was registered with Crime Branch Mumbai in February 2021, against Raj for being involved in creating pornographic films and publishing them through apps.
Now, the buzz is that the crime branch has come across a bank transfer into Raj Kundra's account made by the Hotshot mobile app. The last transaction between the two accounts is as of January 2021, a month before a case was filed against Kundra, and the arrest of the actress who is now found to have been operating the mobile app account, took place.
Also, there is no confirmation of Shilpa Shetty being summoned in the case. A police source revealed, "Cannot comment as it is part of the investigation." ETimes reached out to Mumbai Police to confirm these developments and ask about the financial transactions to which the cops declined to comment stating that the investigation was in process.
Raj Kundra was involved in the streaming of porn videos through the ‘Hotshots’ app. The Police stated that the app has now been removed from mobile platforms. Kundra supplied the content and controlled the UK firm from his Viaan Industries office.
However, Kundra stated that he sold ‘Hotshots’ for $25,000 in 2019.
