Shilpa Shetty’s lawyer denies reports of ED raids amid investigation into Raj Kundra case: “She has nothing to do with any offence”

Shilpa Shetty’s lawyer denies reports of ED raids amid investigation into Raj Kundra case: “She has nothing to do with any offence”

Reports of Enforcement Directorate (ED) raids involving Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty have been refuted by her lawyer, who described the claims as false and misleading. The ED recently conducted searches at multiple locations linked to businessman Raj Kundra, Shetty’s husband, in connection with an alleged money laundering case tied to the distribution of pornographic content.

Lawyer’s Statement Clears Air on Shilpa Shetty’s Involvement
Responding to media reports, Shetty’s legal representative issued a statement categorically denying any ED raids at her residence or involvement in the investigation.

“There have been reports in the media saying that my client Mrs. Shilpa Shetty Kundra has been raided by the Enforcement Directorate. These reports are not true and are misleading. As per my instructions, there is no Enforcement Directorate raid on Mrs. Shilpa Shetty Kundra as she has nothing to do with any offence of whatsoever nature,” the statement read.

The lawyer also emphasized that the ongoing investigation pertains solely to Raj Kundra and highlighted his cooperation with authorities to ensure the truth emerges.
Media Advised to Avoid Misleading Representation
The lawyer further urged the media to exercise caution while reporting on the matter, stating:
“Would request the electronic and print media to refrain from using the videos, pictures, and name of Mrs. Shilpa Shetty Kundra as she has nothing to do with the case. Strict cognizance shall be taken against irresponsible journalism wherein the pictures or videos of Mrs. Shilpa Shetty Kundra are shared on this matter.”
ED Raids on Raj Kundra and Others
On November 29, 2024, the ED conducted raids at approximately 15 locations in Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh, including properties linked to Raj Kundra. Official sources stated that the searches are part of a money laundering probe connected to allegations of distributing pornographic content via mobile apps and other platforms.

This investigation follows prior legal proceedings, with the Supreme Court granting anticipatory bail to Kundra and others, including Sherlyn Chopra and Poonam Pandey, in December 2022 concerning similar allegations.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted a series of raids on Friday, November 29, 2024, targeting businessman Raj Kundra, along with several others, as part of an ongoing investigation into a money laundering case linked to the alleged distribution of pornographic content. The raids are being carried out across multiple locations in Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh.

Raids Across Multiple Locations

According to a report by PTI, approximately 15 locations are being searched as part of the probe. The investigation revolves around the suspects’ alleged involvement in distributing pornographic material through various channels, including mobile applications and other digital platforms.

Raj Kundra and Others Named in Case

Raj Kundra, who is married to Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, is at the center of the investigation. This comes after an FIR was registered in connection with the distribution of pornographic videos. Along with Kundra, other individuals, including actors Sherlyn Chopra and Poonam Pandey, have also been named in the case.

In December 2022, the Supreme Court had granted anticipatory bail to Raj Kundra, Sherlyn Chopra, Poonam Pandey, and others involved in the alleged scandal, providing temporary relief while the investigation continues

The money laundering case is linked to an alleged network that distributed adult content through mobile applications. Raj Kundra’s role in the operation is under scrutiny, with authorities examining the financial aspects and transactions tied to the distribution of the material. Kundra and the others have faced previous legal battles related to the matter, including an arrest earlier in 2021, though he was later granted bail.
