Mumbai, A sessions court here on Monday granted bail to businessman and actor Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra in pornography films case.
The court directed him to furnish a surety of Rs 50,000 and warned him not to tamper with evidences against him.
In his plea Kundra, whose earlier bail applications were rejected, contended that since the Mumbai Police has already filed a chargesheet, it is clear that the probe against him is over and he is now entitled to bail.
He further argued that after the first chargesheet was filed against nine other accused, eight were released on bail and sought bail on grounds of parity with them.
Among other things, he also said that he was associated with a company which owns the apps, HotShot and Bollyfame, for only 10 months and the Covid-19 pandemic exposes him to health hazards.
Kundra had spent nearly 60 days in custody.
