Mumbai: Businessman and actress Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra on Tuesday walked out of a Mumbai jail after he was granted bail in a pornographic films case.
According to reports, Kundra was released from the Arthur Road jail shortly after 11:30 am, a jail official said.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate SB Bhajipale on Monday allowed Kundra’s bail application on furnishing a bond of Rs 50,000.
Kundra’s associate and co-accused Ryan Thorpe, who was arrested along with him on July 19, was also granted bail by the court in the case pertaining to alleged creation of pornographic films and publishing them through some apps.
Raj was arrested in July for allegedly being the ‘key conspirator’ in a porn racket. He has been accused of being involved in the production of adult films and streaming them through his Hotshots app. On Monday, a Mumbai court granted bail to him in the case.
Last week, Mumbai Police had filed a 1,400- page chargesheet in court, listing charges against Raj Kundra and naming Shilpa Shetty among witnesses.
On Saturday, he requested bail, arguing that the investigation in the case was over as the chargesheet had been filed.
