Raj Kundra gets bail after 2 months in jail

What was one of the biggest talking points in the past couple of months has now finally witnessed an update. Businessman Raj Kundra, who was arrested in the pornography case has finally been granted bail after multiple attempts and spending two months in custody on a surety of Rs 50,000. This comes after the businessman on Saturday moved a bail application in court, claiming that he was being made a "scapegoat" and that there was not single evidence in the supplementary charge sheet of him being actively involved in the creation of alleged questionable content.

The crime branch, probing the case, had recently filed a supplementary charge sheet against Kundra and three others in the case pertaining to alleged creation of pornographic films and publishing them through some apps.

Kundra, was arrested on July 19 after being booked under relevant sections of the IPC and the Information Technology Act.

In the bail, he claimed that there is not a single iota of evidence till date with the prosecution that would connect the app 'Hotshots' with an offence under the law. As per the investigation agency, the app was being used by Kundra and his associates to upload and stream obscene content.

The bail plea also said that there is not a single allegation in the entire supplementary charge sheet against Kundra that he was actively involved in any of the video shootings.

It further claimed that Kundra was falsely implicated in the case. He was not named in the FIR and he has been dragged by the police.

The investigation so far clearly shows that Kundra was not involved in any offence even in the remotest way in creating the alleged "questionable content". Further, he is not even related to the process of uploading or broadcasting of the alleged questionable content, the bail plea added.
