Mumbai: Court rejects pre-arrest bail plea of Raj Kundra

MUMBAI: A sessions court on Tuesday rejected the anticipatory bail plea moved by UK businessman Raj Kundra in an obscenity case being investigated by cyber crime police.


Kundra moved the plea in June. In November 2020, police had registered an FIR against 14 over-the-top (OTT) platforms and web portals for obscene content based on a complaint by a retired Customs official. Summons were sent to heads of the platforms and portals, besides actors in the videos.

Kundra is in custody in a pornography case being probed by crime branch. His name surfaced after the property cell stumbled upon the involvement of a UK production company, Kenrin, and police arrested its executive, Umesh Kamat.
