The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has conducted raids at the residence and office of Raj Kundra, husband of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, in connection with a pornography case. The case, which dates back several years, involves allegations of creating and circulating pornographic content through mobile apps.
Raids at Multiple Locations
Reports indicate that the ED conducted searches at 15 locations, including Raj Kundra’s house, office, and properties of his associates. The investigation is focused on financial transactions linked to the case. It is alleged that money earned from these videos in India was transferred abroad in large amounts, raising concerns about money laundering.
Background of the Case
In July 2021, Raj Kundra was arrested by the Mumbai Crime Branch for his alleged involvement in the pornography racket. He spent two months in jail before being released on bail. Kundra has denied all allegations and claimed innocence in the matter.
Related Money Laundering Investigation
The ED is also investigating a separate money laundering case linked to Bitcoin fraud involving Ajay Bharadwaj, which reportedly connects to Raj Kundra. The agency has seized Shilpa Shetty’s Juhu bungalow for further examination as part of this probe.
More updates on the case are awaited as investigations progress.
