New Delhi: Shilpa Shetty’s husband and businessman Raj Kundra has spoken for the first time after his arrest in connection with the alleged creation and uploading of pornographic films on mobile applications. It’s been on year since since Raj was released from the Arthur Road jail.
Raj Kundra said that the truth will be out soon. He took to Twitter and posted a selfie in a hoodie over a cap, dark sunglasses and a mask. The words 'if you don't know the whole story...shut up!!!' were written on the picture. His tweet read, “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. Reacting to the post, 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."
Earlier in August, Kundra filed an application before a magistrate’s court seeking that he be discharged from the case. According to PTI, police found no evidence that Kundra made any monetary or other kind of gain from the alleged offence, and the prosecution has not attributed to him any intention to commit offense, the application said.
A First Information Report (FIR) was registered against Kundra and others after a woman approached the police and made certain allegations.
The case was transferred to the Mumbai Crime Branch.
Kundra 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.
