Businessman Raj Kundra, actress Shilpa Shetty’s husband, has reportedly landed in legal trouble again. According to Hindustan Times, his residence was searched by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection to a money-laundering case about the allegations surrounding the production and distribution of pornographic content through mobile applications. Approximately 15 locations in Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh have been searched.

Raj Kundra was linked to the alleged porn production, which lead to an investigation by the Mumbai Police in 2021. He was arrested in July 2021 by the Mumbai Crime Branch under various sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Act. 

In an earlier interview, he talked about his time in jail and shared how it was for him. He said, as quoted by The Indian Express, “It’s humiliating because they strip you down completely in front of everyone. They check your bum to see if you are carrying any narcotics. So, you feel like you have lost all your dignity. You feel like you have gone through so much and now here also they are stripping you down. Media was already doing that and now this also happened. I felt disheartened and hurt. You don’t get proper food or sleep, and people were talking lecherously about me and Shilpa.” 

He added, “I don’t know why I was not put in the barracks where the so-called celebrities are put. I was put in a common barrack. I have no qualms about that. You don’t get a VIP status when you stay in the celebrity barracks. It’s just that five people live there vs the common barracks where 250 people were living in a place meant only for 50 people.”
