Mumbai, September 16: The Property Cell of Mumbai Police's Crime Branch submitted a 1500-page supplementary charge sheet before Esplanade Court in connection with the pornography case against businessman Raj Kundra, the husband of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty.
The 1500-page charge sheet also details the evidence gathered by the Mumbai Police against two other wanted accused in the case, namely Yash Thakur and Sandeep Bakshi. The charge sheet contains the statements of 43 witnesses including Kundra's wife and actress Shilpa Shetty. The police in the charge sheet also reportedly claimed that Kundra used the Mumbai office of Viaan Industries for the day-to-day operations of the adult film racket.
According to the reports Shilpa Shetty, in her statement to the police, which was recorded in the charge sheet, said that she didn’t know what Raj Kundra was up to as she was too busy with her work.
The statements of actors Sherlyn Chopra, Sejal Shah, many models and employees of Kundra's company have been recorded in the charge sheet. Kundra was arrested by police on July 19 along with 11 other people on charges related to the alleged creation of pornographic films. The racket was busted after a raid at a bungalow in Madh Island in February this year.

In April, the police had filed its first charge sheet in the case against nine persons originally accused, and after subsequent investigations, two more accused, including Kundra, were nabbed.
The police have contended that Raj Kundra - currently in judicial custody along with his company Viaan Enterprises' IT head Ryan Thorpe - were allegedly engaged in creating pornographic contents which were published through some paid porn apps. The alleged scam came to light early this year when the Malad police raided a bungalow at Madh Island where porn films were reportedly being shot leading to the arrest of the filmmakers, the actors, and the technical staff.
