Unacceptable to drag my wife's name: Raj Kundra's social media post after ED raids in porn case
Mumbai/IBNS: Businessman Raj Kundra has come out with a scathing remark targeting a section of media after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday raided his house and offices in connection with a probe into the money laundering case linked to the production and distribution of pornography contests through applications, media reports said.
In an Instagram story, Raj wrote, "While the media seems to have a flair for drama, let's set the record straight: I'm fully complying with the ongoing investigation that has been unfolding for the last four years."
"As for the claims of 'associates', 'pornography' and 'money laundering', let's just say that no amount of sensationalism will cloud the truth, in the end, justice will prevail," he added.
Raj, who is the husband of actress Shilpa Shetty, allegedly uploaded and streamed pornography clippings through Hotshots, a now defunct app which was "owned" by the businessman himself.
The app was earlier available on platforms like Apple and Google.
The app was removed from the Google Play Store for Android phones and Apple's App Store and then the accused "activated Plan B" by launching another app, Bollyfame, police had said.
Raj is accused of money laundering of proceeds from the streaming of the porn contents.
The businessman was arrested in connection with the case in July 2021. He was later granted bail in September 2021.
Not just the porn case, he is accused in a separate case linked to the alleged bitcoin scam.
The ED has attached Raj's properties worth Rs. 97.79 crore in connection with the bitcoin scam probe.
The attached properties comprise a flat in Mumbai's Juhu, a residential bungalow in Pune and equity shares.
The Juhu flat is currently in the name of Shilpa Shetty.
