Raj Kundra sold porn app to brother-in-law for $25,000: Cops

MUMBAI: Opposing the bail plea of businessman Raj Kundra in the pornography case, the prosecution said the Hotshots app was sold for $25,000. The prosecution alleged that the app is now owned by Kundra’s brother-in-law Pradeep Bakshi’s company Kenrin, registered in UK.


Police believe Kundra has been involved in production and distribution of pornographic videos.

The prosecution submitted that Kundra may help Bakshi evade the probe. The prosecution expressed fears that if granted bail the accused may commit similar crimes again by uploading obscene videos, which will impact culture and send a wrong message to society.

Kundra’s plea said if the material that they (investigating agency) speak of is considered, it is clear that it does not depict direct explicit sexual acts but shows material in the form of short movies which are lascivious or appeals to the prurient interest of a person. Police said victims’ statements were being recorded and there may be a danger to them.
