Raj Kundra, who is being held in judicial custody for 14 days, was denied bail on July 28 by a lower court. While numerous actresses have spoken out against Raj Kundra’s app Hotshots, which he has been accused of using to create and disseminate pornographic videos, Sherlyn Chopra has accused him of sexual misconduct. Sherlyn Chopra accuses Raj Kundra of sexual assault: I kept telling him to stop as I was scared.
The actress was said to have appeared from the Mumbai Crime Branch’s Property Cell to give a statement in the pornographic case. In April 2021, she filed a sexual assault complaint against Raj. He was prosecuted under section 376 of the Indian Penal Code, in conjunction with sections 384, 415, 420, 504, and 506, 354 (a) (b) (d), 509, and 67, 67 (A) of the Information Technology Act 2008, sec 3 & 4 of Indecent Representation of Women Act 1986.
Raj Kundra phoned Sherlyn’s business manager about a proposition he wanted to discuss in early 2019, according to her complaint. Raj turned up uninvited to Sherlyn’s residence on March 27, 2019, after a violent fight over a text, according to Sherlyn.
Despite her protests, the actress claims Raj began kissing her. She also stated that she did not want to date a married man or combine business and pleasure. Raj explained to her that his marriage to Shilpa Shetty was tough and that he was anxious most of the time at home.
Elaborating further, Sherlyn added that she asked him to stop as she was scared. After a while, she managed to push him and rushed into the washroom.
After Raj’s arrest on July 19, the Mumbai police had also raided Raj’s residence and questioned the wife and actress Shilpa Shetty a few days ago.
