The CP of Mumbai Police has released a statement that read, “There was a case registered with Crime Branch Mumbai in February 2021 about creation of pornographic films and publishing them through some apps. We’ve arrested Mr Raj Kundra in this case on 19/7/21 as he appears to be the key conspirator of this. We have sufficient evidences regarding this. Investigation is in progress, said ‘Hemant Nagrale’, Commissioner of Mumbai Police. Reportedly the cops have filed two FIR’s and seized ten people including Raj kundra for forcing actors to shoot nude scenes for porn films.
According to the Crime Branch the accused used to send these videos after shooting them to a foreign based company through ‘We transfer’ and the same was uploaded on various apps to elude Indian law. During the investigation, police arrested a person identified as Umesh Kamat, who had worked with Kundra. After his arrest, Kundra’s key role in the porn racket surfaced, but the Crime Branch didn’t arrest him at the time for want of evidence. An officer of the Crime branch stated, “Our team worked on it closely after filing the first charge sheet in the case. During the probe, we found that the accused, in fact, sent WeTransfer files abroad sitting in Kundra’s office”.
Initially, this gang used to entice aspiring actors in the name of giving them huge roles in films on OTT platforms, but later they forced them into pornography. The accused used to earn Rs 2-3 lakh per video, and the victims were just paid Rs 20,000-Rs 25,000, sources said.
