Bombay high court rejects Raj Kundra’s plea against arrest, police remand

The Bombay High Court on Saturday rejected the pleas, filed by actor Shilpa Shetty’s businessman husband Raj Kundra and his associate Ryan Thorpe, challenging their arrest and police remand in the case of alleged production and publishing of pornographic content.

Kundra was arrested on July 19 and Thorpe, who was employed as the head of department of Information Technology in Kundra’s firm, was arrested on July 20. They are currently in judicial custody.

In his petition, Kundra contended that his arrest was illegal as the mandatory provision of issuing notice under Section 41A of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC) was not followed.
