The Mumbai police said they have sufficient evidence regarding the case against Raj Kundra. He has been booked with IPC sections of cheating, indulging in obscene acts in public places, and publicly exhibiting or circulating obscene books or literature under the Information Technology Act.
In previous hearings, the Mumbai Police opposed Raj Kundra's bail pleas before the sessions court, claiming that if released, the accused could commit similar offences again and impact the "social culture". Kundra and co-accused Ryan Thorpe had filed for bail before the sessions court after the metropolitan magistrate's court rejected similar pleas last month.
