According to the report of the news agency ‘ANI’, during the court appearance, Mumbai Police said, ‘While examining the WhatsApp chat of Raj Kundra, we have found that he was about to make a big deal with 121 videos. For this an amount of $ 1.2 million was fixed. It seems that this deal was being done for the international market. After the arrest of Raj Kundra on Monday, the court had earlier sent him on police remand till July 23. His remand was ending on Friday. But in view of the police investigation, the court extended the remand of both Raj and his company’s IT head Ryan Tharp by 4 days, not granting bail.
‘Used betting on money from porn movies’
The police also raised the suspicion in the court that Raj Kundra used to invest the earnings from porn films in online betting. “For this, we have to investigate the transaction of money between the Yes Bank account of Raj Kundra and United Bank of Africa,” the police said. The police also came to know in the investigation that Raj Kundra, Ryan Tharp, Anand Bakshi and other associates used to talk about the content of Hotshots app on the WhatsApp group itself. Along with this, it is also discussed that in view of the heat of the investigation, many such information from emails and websites has been deleted by Anand Bakshi in July itself. Police suspect that the data that has been deleted was linked to the Hotshots app.
