After 2 months in jail, Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra gets bail in pornography case

A Mumbai court on Monday granted bail to Raj Kundra in a pornography case. The NRI businessman, who was arrested on July 19, was granted bail on a surety of Rs 50,000, news agency ANI reported.



News agency PTI further reported that the court also granted bail to another accused, Ryan Thorpe, who is his business associate. On Saturday, Kundra had sought bail arguing that he was being made a "scapegoat" and that there was no evidence in the charge sheet that he was actively involved in creating pornographic content. The Mumbai Police had filed a 1,400-page charge sheet last week.


The businessman's previous bail applications were rejected. In his fresh plea, Kundra said that since the charge sheet was already submitted by the police, it was clear that the probe against him in the pornography case was over and he was entitled to get bail.

The 46-year-old was arrested on grounds of creating pornographic films and publishing them through some apps. The Mumbai Police had mentioned that he is the key conspirator in this racket.
