Hyderabad: Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty has informed Mumbai Police that she remained too tied up in her work to know the porn apps or other activities of her husband Raj Kundra - who is under custody in the pornography racket case. Following the media reports, Sherlyn Chopra took a jibe at Shilpa for claiming ignorance in her husband's nefarious activities.
Taking a potshot at Shilpa on social media, Sherlyn shared a video in Hindi which roughly translates to, "According to some media reports, didi is saying that she wasn't aware of the nefarious activities of her husband. Didi is also saying that she doesn't know about the movable and immovable assets of her husband. How true is this statement, you guys can understand yourself." She added, "Well, what is this called? Pretending to be a simpleton and enjoying all the benefits that may come one's way due to the pretense."

While Shilpa has maintained that she was not aware of Raj's involvement in pornography content, Sherlyn had earlier also alleged that Kundra had told her that his wife liked her work.
According to the police probe, Kundra allegedly used his company's Mumbai offices to manage the daily operations of the sleaze content racket and upload it through the HotShots and Bollyfame apps for paid viewers. The nearly 1,500-page charge sheet also contains details of the investigations and the evidence collected against the 11 accused arrested till date, plus two others wanted accused in the same case, Kundra's brother-in-law Sandeep Bakshi and Yash Thakur - to show how the entire paid sleaze content racket was being run.

The police during its raid on Kundra's homes on July 23 and the Viaan offices in Andheri on July 24, had seized incriminating documents, laptops, portable hard disks, and also recovered a laptop from Thorpe. All the electronic devices were subjected to various forensic tests to gather further evidence pertaining to the sensational case.
Besides Shilpa, the police have recorded the statements, including some before a magistrate, of at least 42 other witnesses, including models, films or television actors, against Kundra and Thorpe. The smut racket was exposed after the Malad police raided a bungalow in Madh Island in February, the subsequent nabbing of 9 accused, and finally the arrest of Kundra and Thorpe on July 19, shocking the entertainment industry.
