Businessman Raj Kundra on Friday challenged before the Bombay High Court his arrest in a case of alleged production and distribution of pornographic films through apps, saying these videos might be described as "lascivious" but do not show "explicit sexual acts". Kundra (45), the husband of actor Shilpa Shetty, was arrested on July 19 by Mumbai Police. On July 19, 2021, the police carried out a search at his office and requested him to go to the police station to record statement, Kundra said. After his arrest Kundra was asked to sign a notice issued under section 41A of CrPC which he refused to do, it claimed. When the First Information Report (FIR) was registered in February 2021, he was not even named as accused, Kundra said, adding that a charge sheet was filed in the case in April and several other accused are now out on bail.
