On September 20, a Mumbai court had granted bail to Raj Kundra, on a surety of Rs 50,000. He was named as the ‘key conspirator’ in a porn racket and was being questioned for his connection to Hotshots app, which was being used to stream the adult content.
In his bail plea, Raj Kundra had claimed that there was no evidence of him being “actively” involved in the creation of alleged porn content and that he was being made a “scapegoat” in the case. Advocate Prashant Patil, representing Kundra, had told ETimes in a statement, “Investigation was over and the charge sheet was filed and now further custody was not required. Court ruled that since the charge sheet is filed and as it had already ruled that videos in question were shot with the consent of adult women, there was no need to keep the accused behind bars.”
