A Mumbai court on Monday granted bail to businessman Raj Kundra in a pornographic material case. The court has asked Kundra to furnish a surety of Rs 50,000.

Both Raj Kundra and Ryan Thorpe were arrested by the Crime Branch of the Mumbai Police in July this year in connection with the production and distribution of obscene material.
The matter first came to the fore during a raid on a bungalow in Mumbai’s Madh area in February this year. The authorities had found that obscene material was being shot inside the bungalow. Raj Kundra’s aide Umesh Kamat was arrested in the investigation of the case. The initial chargesheet in the case was filed in April this year against nine people.

In the bail application filed through advocate Prashant Patil, Kundra claimed that till date the prosecution does not have a single evidence to link the ‘Hotshots’ app with the offense on the basis of law.

The bail application also said that in the entire supplementary charge sheet there is not a single allegation against the present applicant (Kundra) to indicate that he was actively involved in the shooting of any video. Rather it is at the discretion of the artist whether to upload the content to the App or not. The application said that the contents of the complaint prima facie do not disclose any offense against Kundra. The application claimed that Kundra was wrongly implicated in the case. His name was not there in the FIR but the respondent (police) forcibly dragged his name in the case. The petition said that the reason for this can only be given by the agency but they are being made a ‘scapegoat’. It said that the investigation clearly shows that Kundra is not even remotely involved in any offense of making “objectionable material”. The court will hear Kundra’s bail application on Monday.
