Actress Shilpa Shetty’s husband and businessman Raj Kundra, who was accused in the pornographic content case, filed a bail application in a Mumbai court on Saturday, claiming that he was being used as a "scapegoat" and that there was no evidence in the supplementary charge sheet of him actively participating in the creation of alleged questionable content.

The crime branch, which is investigating the case, recently filed a supplementary charge sheet against Kundra and three others in the case involving the alleged creation of pornographic films and their distribution via various apps. Following that, the accused applied for bail in the metropolitan court, claiming that the investigation into the case was nearly complete.

Kundra, the husband of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, was arrested on July 19 and charged with violating relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act. He is currently being held in judicial custody.

In his bail application, filed through advocate Prashant Patil, Kundra claimed that there is not a single iota of evidence with the prosecution that would link the app 'Hotshots' to an offense under the law.

According to the investigation agency, the accused was using the Hotshots app to upload and stream obscene content. According to the bail petition, there is no single allegation in the entire supplementary charge sheet against the current applicant (Kundra) that he was actively involved in any video shoots. In fact, the plea stated that it is entirely up to the individual artists to upload their content to the app.

According to the application, the contents of the complaint do not reveal any prima facie offense against Kundra.

It also claimed that Kundra was wrongfully implicated in the case. According to the statement, he was not named in the FIR, and the respondent dragged him (police.

According to the report, he is being used as a "scapegoat" for reasons best known to the investigating agencies.

So far, the investigation has revealed that Kundra was not even remotely involved in the creation of the alleged "questionable content." Furthermore, he is unrelated to the process of uploading or broadcasting the alleged questionable content, according to the bail plea.

I think he pissed off someone important and this is their convoluted revenge.

Otherwise, its unlikely for the Indian police to pursue a powerful person like Kundra this way 🤷‍♀️
