A Mumbai court on Wednesday refused bail to Shilpa Shetty’s husband, businessman Raj Kundra, and his associate Ryan Thorpe in the pornography case. Kundra was sent to 14-day judicial custody on Tuesday. The crime branch earlier told the court that Kundra had plans to sell 119 adult films to a person for USD 1.2 million. The police claimed that during the probe into the case, it was found that Kundra set up Armsprime Media Pvt Ltd, which, through London-based Kenrin Pvt Ltd, bought ‘Hotshots’ app to upload objectionable videos on social media.
The police also claimed to have found 51 obscene videos– 35 with Hotshots logo and 16 with BollyFame logo, during searches at the office of the accused. The crime branch has lodged a fresh FIR in connection with a pornography case and named producers of Kundra’s company as well as actress Gehana Vashishth in the new case.
