Duo have been arrested in connection with pornographic racket busted by Mumbai Police in early 2021
Businessman Raj Kundra and his aide Ryan Thorpe filed for bail before the City Civil and Sessions Court on Thursday in the pornographic racket busted early this year. They were arrested on July 19 by the Property Cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch and are currently lodged in the Arthur Road Jail. They have challenged the Magistrate’s order rejecting their bail applications on July 28. The court had said, “If released they will hamper the investigation and the alleged offence is detrimental to the health of the society.” The Sessions Court issued direction to Mumbai Police on Thursday to file its reply and adjourned the matter to be heard on August 10.
