Mumbai: A sessions court on Monday adjourned hearing in the anticipatory bail plea moved by businessman Raj Kundra in an obscenity case being investigated by the cyber crime police. The court extended the interim relief from arrest in the case.

In November 2020, 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 is currently in custody in a case being investigated by the crime branch. Kundra’s name surfaced after the property cell, which was probing the case, discovered the involvement of a UK production company, Kenrin, and police arrested its executive, Umesh Kamat.

Mumbai: The city crime branch probing Raj Kundra for production of porn films summoned actor Sherlyn Chopra to record her statement as a witness in the case. In March, Chopra had lodged a complaint involving obscene videos of her being published online. The police on Monday clarified that as of now they have not found anything against Kundra’s wife Shilpa Shetty.

The property cell on Monday recorded the statement of model-actress Sagarika Shona Suman who has alleged Kundra’s company wanted to rope in some reality show contestants for live streaming strip shows. She also told police Tanvir Hashmi, who claims to be the video editor in the porn movie racket, was earlier arrested in a gang rape case.
