Mumbai: Supplementary chargesheet filed against Kundra, IT head

Mumbai: The city crime branch on Wednesday filed a 1,500-page supplementary chargesheet in connection with the pornography case in which businessman Raj Kundra and his company’s IT head Ryan Thorpe were arrested in July.
Officials said this supplementary chargesheet is against Kundra and Thorpe. Kundra’s brother-in-law Pradeep Bakshi and one Yash Thakur have been shown as absconding accused in the chargesheet.Police said in the supplementary chargesheet they have attached details of the exchange of emails and WhatsApp chats between Kundra and the other accused, 24 hard disks containing pornographic material seized from Kundra’s office, Andheri bank details of his firms and details of the Hotshot app.
Kundra’s name had surfaced in July this year after the crime branch’s property cell probing the case stumbled upon the involvement of a UK-based production company Kenrin and police arrested its executive Umesh Kamat in the case.
Kamat, a former employee of Kundra, is accused of uploading at least seven to eight “porn and obscene” videos allegedly shot by Gehana Vasisth on a social media app for monetary consideration. Police suspects that Kundra has a stake in Kenrin and was involved in production and distribution of pornography material.
