Police: UK company behind porn app sent money to Kundra firm’s accounts

The Mumbai Crime Branch, investigating the pornographic films case, on Wednesday said that a UK-based company, Kenrin Pvt Ltd, which had purchased the pornographic app ‘Hotshots’ in 2019, was transferring money to 13 bank accounts belonging to Raj Kundra’s Viaan Industries. The amount was subsequently transferred to Kundra’s personal account, they added. The money was being transferred on the pretext of “software maintenance”, they said.

The officials further said they will conduct forensic auditing of the bank accounts belonging to Kundra and his companies.

Kundra, who is married to actor Shilpa Shetty, was arrested late on Monday, five months after the pornographic scam first came to light.
