After the Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided Raj Kundra’s properties related to the pornographic case, the businessman issued a statement. Kundra took to his Instagram stories and clarified that he is cooperating with the government agency. He urged the media and online users not to drag his wife Shilpa Shetty’s name into the case. On the other hand, Shetty’s lawyer Prashant Patil issued a statement where he claimed that there was no raid on the actress by the ED. 

Coming back to Kundra, he wrote on Instagram stories “To whom it may concern, While the media seems to have a flair for drama, let’s set the record straight: I’m fully complying with the ongoing investigation that has been unfolding for the last four years. As for the claims of ‘associates’, ‘pornographic’ and ‘money laundering’, let’s just say that no amount of sensationalism will cloud the truth, in the end, justice will prevail! It’s unacceptable to repeatedly drag my wife’s name into unrelated matters. Please respect the boundaries…!!!”

On Friday, Shilpa Shetty’s lawyer, Advocate Prashant Patil issued a statement “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.” 

“However, the case in question is an ongoing investigation regarding Mr Raj Kundra and he is cooperating with the investigation for truth to come out. 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 cognisance shall be taken against irresponsible journalism wherein the pictures or videos of Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra are shared on this matter,” Patil added in his statement.

Raj was accused of allegedly distributing pornographic content via apps and other platforms. He was arrested in July 2021 in connection to the case. Later, he was granted a bail.
