MUMBAI: A sessions court on Friday adjourned the hearing in the anticipatory bail plea moved by UK businessman Raj Kundra in an obscenity case being investigated by the cyber crime police. The court extended the interim relief from arrest till Monday. Kundra is currently in judicial custody.
In November 2020, the police had registered an FIR against 14 OTT platforms and web portals for obscene content based on a complaint by a retired customs official.
Summons were sent to the heads of these platforms and portals, besides some actors in the videos. Kundra’s name surfaced after the property cell probing the case stumbled upon the involvement of a UK production company, Kenrin, and the police arrested its executive, Umesh Kamat.
