A wanted accused in a porn production case has alleged that Raj Kundra avoided arrest till now by bribing Crime Branch officers with Rs 25 lakh. The firm of Arvind Srivastava alias Yash Thakur, named as the kingpin of the racket in March, had complained to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) via an email the same month. The ACB forwarded it to the Mumbai police chief’s office in April. The city officers have, however, refused to comment. On Wednesday, crime branch raided Kundra’s Andheri office.

Businessman Kundra was arrested on Monday in the porn racket case by the Property Cell of the Mumbai Crime Branch. The complainant was Fliz Movies [or Nuefliks, as previously known], an US-based firm. Police had named the firm in March and seized two of its owner Srivastava’s bank accounts having about Rs 4.50 crore. These accounts were opened in Kanpur and Indore branches.
