Bombay HC rejects Raj Kundra's bail in porn film racket case

Raj Kundra's anticipatory bail has been rejected by the Bombay High Court.


The Bombay High Court, on Thursday, rejected businessman Raj Kundra's anticipatory bail plea application in the 2020 cyber cell porn film racket case.

Kundra was earlier arrested in July in another case that was being investigated by the Mumbai Crime Branch. He got bail in that case in September.


Kundra in his documents, filed by advocates Prashant P Patil and Swapnil Ambure, has stated that the only allegation of the prosecution against the businessman is with respect to alleged personal videos of actors Sherlyn Chopra and Poonam Pandey, who are co-accused in the case.


Kundra said that the videos may be erotic but do not involve any physical sexual activity or both people engaged in sexual relations.


WHAT IS THE PORN FILM RACKET CASE?

Raj Kundra was arrested by the Mumbai crime branch on July 19 for allegedly producing and distributing porn films using a subscriber-driven mobile app called "HotShots."


Kundra was booked under sections 420 (cheating), 34 (common intention), 292 and 293 (related to obscene and indecent advertisements and displays) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), besides sections of the IT Act and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act.

 

He was also granted bail in September after Mumbai police filed a charge sheet against him.
