The investigation revealed that Raj Kundra was the prime accused in the pornographic content uploaded on apps like HotHitMovies and HotShots. But Kundra was granted bail in September 2021.

Clarification by Shilpa Shetty's Lawyer

But Shilpa Shetty's lawyer Prashant Patil revealed “There have been reports in the media saying that the Enforcement Directorate has raided my client Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra"However , the case in question is an ongoing investigation regarding Mr Raj Kundra and he is cooperating with the investigation for truth to come out.". These reports are not true and are misleading. There is no Enforcement Directorate raid on Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra as she has nothing to do with any offence of whatsoever nature."
