Raj booked for money laundering in adult films racket case

-

Raj Kundra, who was arrested in July 2021, in the adult films racket case has now been booked by the Enforcemen­t Directorat­e. According to a news report, the ED has registered a case against Shilpa Shetty’s husband and businessma­n Raj Kundra in connection with the adult films racket case which surfaced last year.

Kundra was arrested by Mumbai Police in July 2021 and spent close to two months in jail.

As per reports, the ED filed a case against Kundra after investigat­ing financial transactio­ns related to the racket. Not just Kundra, but transactio­ns of all those involved have been investigat­ed by the ED. The details of all the accused were collected and a case against Kundra was reportedly filed last week.

While there is no confirmati­on on when Kundra will be summoned, a report stated that the ED may start questionin­g next week. Many people have been involved in the adult films racket case, including Kundra, who have been accused of cheating aspiring models and actors with the promise of offering roles in web series or Bollywood films.

These aspiring actors and models were reportedly made to shoot for adult film content under the pretext of landing a Bollywood role. Earlier reports had stated that these actors were also threatened if they refused to shoot for nude scenes. These adult films were shot in rented apartments in areas like Madh Island or near Aksa in Malad. These filmed videos were then uploaded to subscripti­on-based apps which were allegedly being run by Raj Kundra.
