Mumbai Police Crime Branch has revealed that four more arrests have been made in the pornography case, which also involved businessman Raj Kundra. A casting director and three others have been arrested from
Versova
and Borivali areas, the cops told ANI. Last year,
Shilpa Shetty’s husband
Raj Kundra was named as the key conspirator in the case and he spent nearly three months in custody. He walked out on bail in September.
Breaking silence over the case, Raj Kundra had said in a statement, “After much contemplation, considering there are many misleading and irresponsible statements and articles floating around and my silence has been misconstrued for weakness. I would like to start by stating that I have NEVER been involved in the production and distribution of ‘pornography’ EVER in my life. This whole episode has been nothing but a witch hunt. The matter is sub judice so I can not elucidate, but I am ready to face trial and have full faith in the judiciary, where the truth will prevail. The trolling, negativity and toxic public perception has been very debilitating. To set the record straight, I do not hide my face in shame, but wish that my privacy is not intruded anymore with this continued MEDIA TRIAL. My priority has always been my family, nothing else matters at this juncture.”
As part of the probe, Raj’s offices in Mumbai were raided and it was reported that he was involved in production and distribution of adult movies. The businessman had been booked for the Indecent Representation of Women (Prevention) Act and the Information Technology Act for allegedly distributing/ transmitting sexually explicit videos.
