Actress Shilpa Shetty has told the Mumbai Police she was too busy with her work to know what her husband Raj Kundra was up to. Her statement is part of the over 1400 page charge sheet filed by the Mumbai Police against Kundra and the IT head of his company Viaan industries, Ryan Thorpe in the porn racket case. The charge sheet also details the evidence against two others who wanted to be accused in the case, Yash Thakur and Sandeep Bakshi.
In her statement to the Mumbai police, a copy of which has been accessed by The Indian Express, Shetty said, “Kundra started Viaan Industries Limited in 2015 and I was one of the directors till 2020 when I resigned due to personal reasons.”
“I am not aware of the Hotshots or Bollyfame apps. I was too busy with my own work and hence, not aware about what Kundra was up to,” she added.
Apart from Shetty, there are statements of 42 more witnesses, some of them recorded before a magistrate, to prove the case against Kundra and Thorpe. So far, 11 persons have been arrested by the Mumbai police in the case that was busted after a raid at a bungalow in Madh Island in February this year. The police had already filed a charge sheet against nine persons in April this year, and the rest have been charged in the supplementary charge sheet filed on Wednesday. The Mumbai police had arrested Kundra and Thorpe on July 19.
