Karma finally caught up with Kundra

- — Sanskriti Media

Reportedly, Shilpa shouted at Kundra

and asked him what was the need

for doing such a thing. She said due to his actions the

family name is getting defamed

and their endorsemen­ts in the industry

are being cancelled.”

The Enforcemen­t Directorat­e (ED) will also be joining the investigat­ions, with reference to some financial transactio­ns mentioned in the documents.

It may be recalled that Shilpa had earlier told cops investigat­ing the pornograph­y case that her husband had nothing to do with porn and that the app in question contained erotica.

Meanwhile, police sources have confirmed that the case is part of an ongoing probe which started on February 4 this year, after five people were arrested on charges of forcing women to act in erotic films on the pretext of giving them roles in web movies. The scripts and the scenes would be changed on the day of the shoot, and if the actresses refused to perform those scenes, they would allegedly be asked to foot the bill for the day’s shoot.

After Kundra’s arrest, a few people who had other issues with the businessma­n approached the Mumbai Police. Hiren Parmar, a Gujarat-based trader claimed that Kundra’s company Viaan Industries had taken `3 lakh from him on the promise that he would be made a distributo­r of an online game called Game of Dot.

Producer and entreprene­ur Sachiin Joshi said he had recently won a case against Kundra regarding a gold purchase scheme. He said, “We got our 1 kg gold and the `3 lakh they had to pay us as a fine for making us go through a legal process to recover the money.” He added that a cheque issued by Kundra’s firm has bounced and said he hoped to win the case relating to that too. “I am glad karma finally caught up with Kundra,” he said.

KUNDRA WAS ARRESTED ON JULY 19 AND THE CRIME BRANCH LATER FOUND A HIDDEN CUPBOARD WITH DOCUMENTS ABOUT HIS FINANCIAL TRANSACTIO­NS AND CRYPTOCURR­ENCY HOLDINGS. THE CRIME BRANCH IS ALSO IN POSSESSION OF KUNDRA’S LAPTOP AND A STORAGE AREA NETWORK BOX FROM WHERE A LOT OF DATA HAD BEEN DELETED
