Raj Kundra Summoned by ED in Pornography and Money Laundering Investigation
The businessman faces allegations of monetizing explicit content through a mobile app and is cooperating with the ongoing probe into financial crimes and a cryptocurrency scam.
- Raj Kundra has been summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning as part of a money laundering probe linked to the production and distribution of pornographic content via the 'Hotshots' app.
- The ED conducted raids at 15 locations, including Kundra's Juhu residence and offices, uncovering evidence of financial transactions and alleged coercion of actors into creating explicit content.
- Kundra is also under investigation for his alleged involvement in a cryptocurrency ponzi scheme, with assets worth ₹98 crore previously attached by the ED.
- In a statement, Kundra denied the allegations, claimed he was being made a scapegoat, and criticized media outlets for involving his wife, Shilpa Shetty, in unrelated matters.
- Shilpa Shetty's lawyer has clarified that she has no connection to the case, calling reports of ED raids at her residence misleading and urging media to respect her privacy.
