Raj Kundra Seeks Relief After Four Years In Adult Content Case

MUMBAI-Actor and businessman Raj Kundra, husband of actress Shilpa Shetty, has spoken about the four-year legal proceedings in the alleged explicit content case and sought relief if the court finds him innocent.

On April 29, Raj Kundra said he has been subjected to a prolonged legal process and is seeking discharge from the case.

He said he has always respected the judicial system and fully cooperated with the investigation at every stage, but described the delay in reaching this point as deeply frustrating.

Raj Kundra was arrested by the Mumbai Crime Branch on July 19, 2021, in connection with an alleged explicit content production and distribution case.

Police had alleged that he was a key conspirator in creating and circulating adult content through subscription-based mobile applications. Investigators claimed videos were produced in India and uploaded through foreign-linked platforms to bypass local regulations.

The case included charges under sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Information Technology Act, and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act. Police also alleged that multiple accused were involved in filming, managing content, and monetizing the material.

Raj Kundra has denied wrongdoing and maintained that the content was erotic rather than pornographic. He was remanded to judicial custody and later granted bail in September 2021 after spending around two months in custody.

Court proceedings and related investigations have continued, and he is now seeking discharge from the long-pending case. (IANS)
