Raj Kundra was arrested by the Crime Branch of the Mumbai Police after registering a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, the Information Technology Act and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act.
Raj Kundra had filed a bail plea in the Metropolitan Magistrate’s Court last Saturday, days after the police filed a supplementary charge sheet in the case.
