Mumbai: Actor Shilpa Shetty’s husband and businessman Raj Kundra has finally opened up for the first time about his arrest in the case related to the alleged creation and distribution of porn films through apps. Raj took to Twitter to express his views on the same. “Justice will be served,” he said. Raj posted a selfie dressed in a hoodie over a cap, dark sunglasses, and a mask. “If you don’t know the whole story…shut up!!!” was stated on the picture.
“One Year Today released from #ArthurRoad Its a matter of time Justice will be served! The truth will be out soon! Thank you, well-wishers and a bigger thank you to the trollers you make me stronger (folded hands emoji). He also added the hashtags–enquiry, word, media trial and trollers,” Raj captioned.
Fans started reacting as soon as Raj posted the picture. A fan wrote, “Stay Strong!! Time will reveal itself no matter what. It just takes time!”
Another Twitter user commented, “I don’t know what it is but let the truth come out.”
September 21 marks one year since Raj was released from the Arthur Road jail.
Raj’s tweet comes over a month after he filed an application before a magistrate’s court in Mumbai seeking that he be discharged from the case. He was arrested in the case in July 2021 and is now out on bail.
As per news agency PTI, police found no evidence that Raj made any monetary or other kinds of gain from the alleged offense, and the prosecution has not attributed to him any intention to commit the offense, the application said.
An FIR was registered against Raj and others after a woman approached the police and made certain allegations. The case was transferred to the Mumbai Crime Branch. Raj was booked under Indian Penal Code sections 420 (cheating), 292, and 293 (related to obscene and indecent advertisements and displays) and sections of the Information Technology Act and Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act.
Raj has been keeping a low profile ever since his bail. Shilpa and Raj have been married since 2009 and have two children together — son Viaan and daughter Samisha. Viaan was born on May 21 while Samisha was born in 2020 via surrogacy.
