Chopra, whose anticipatory bail application was rejected by sessions court last week, went to the property cell office in Byculla around noon. Police recorded her statement after new facts came to light following the arrest of Raj Kundra and his IT head Ryan Thopre. Police told her she may have to appear again if needed. An officer said she carried some documents related to the case.

The property cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch on Friday summoned actress Sherlyn Chopra for questioning in connection to the pornography case involving businessman Raj Kundra. After nearly 8 hours of questioning, the actress was spotted on her way out of the police station.

Speaking to the media about the purpose of the interrogation, Chopra said, "A few days back, the investigating officer of the property cell sent a summon, under section 160 CRPC. I appeared before the officers today and they asked me to share information about Armsprime media and everything related to Raj Kundra. I did what I asked to."

"I reached this morning at around 11:30 am and the interrogation has been going on since then. They asked me about my agreement with Armsprime and what the terms and conditions of the contract were. They even asked about how many videos I shot with them and who all were a part of the content production," she continued.

The actress went on to state that she was also questioned about her involvement with Raj Kundra, who has been in custody for the past weeks. She said, "They also asked, 'Raj Kundra k sath mere kaise sambandh the' and what about the other companies owned by him, do you have any information about them? The whole day was spent sharing the information. Even I asked if there are any more questions, please ask as I want justice for all the women, artists who have been victims of this pornography racket."

In her statement, Sherlyn also came out strongly against actress Rakhi Sawant for her 'generic' comments on the case. "People like Rakhi Sawant, who comes forward and says that Raj Kundra is this, Shilpa Shetty is that, 'Jai Jai Kaar karte hain', should understand that they shouldn't make any generic statements without checking the facts."

The actress went on to clarify that this case was in no way a vendetta game, but an effort to bust the pornography racket.

She said, "The property cell officers told me that this is not a vendetta against any person but we want to bust this pornography racket. So, I want to request everyone through your medium (media/news) that if anyone knows anything related to this racket, please come forward and share the information with the police."

The star, who was spotted at the police station with documents in hand, concluded by saying, "I told them what happened with me including the dates and time. WhatsApp has a mention of everything, along with dates and timings. I showed them the WhatsApp chats, agreements, copies of the statements which I had submitted to the Maharashtra Cyber Cell. I had lodged a complaint at Juhu police station against Raj Kundra in April 2021, they asked about the reason behind the complaint. I have shared all this information with them."

Earlier on Thursday, Director of Armsprime Media Private Limited Saurabh Kushwaha was summoned for questioning by the Property Cell of Mumbai Crime Branch.

Meanwhile, a Mumbai Sessions Court on Thursday said it will hear bail applications of businessman and actor Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra and his associate Ryan Thorpe on August 10.
