Mumbai: Actress Shilpa Shetty’s husband and businessman Raj Kundra, the alleged key conspirator in a porn racket, will have to spend more time behind bars, as the sessions court has deferred hearing on his bail plea till 20 August after the crime branch listed out 19 reasons to oppose it.
The Mumbai Police opposed the bail pleas of Raj Kundra and co-accused Ryan Thorpe claiming that if released, they could commit similar offences again and impact the ‘social culture’.
Both men have filed for bail before the sessions court after the metropolitan magistrate’s court last month rejected similar pleas.
In its reply to the court, the crime branch said Kundra was not cooperating and that their investigation was still on. It said a lot of evidence was yet to be collected and that many more witnesses and victims were coming forward to record their testimony.
