MUMBAI: A magistrate court here on Monday granted bail to businessman and actress Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra, an accused in a pornographic films case in which he was arrested two months ago.
Kundra’s associate Ryan Thorpe, who was arrested along with him in July, was also granted bail by the court.
Kundra (46) had filed a bail plea before the court, claiming there was not a single evidence against him in a supplementary charge-sheet filed by the Mumbai police crime branch in the case.
The businessman, in the plea, had claimed there was no evidence of him being “actively” involved in creation of alleged questionable porn content and that he was being made a “scapegoat” in the case.

A lot of evidences against Kundra came to light after technical analysis, witnesses’ statements and from documents confiscated from his office, it said.
