The Killa court on Wednesday rejected the bail application of key conspirator Raj Kundra and his associate, Ryan Thorpe, in connection with the pornography racket. Kundra applied for bail after he was sent to 14 days judicial custody by the court on Wednesday. The Mumbai Crime Branch on Wednesday also registered another FIR against four people including actress Gehna Vasisth, after a fresh victim came forward. The Crime Branch has also said that there is no incriminating evidence against actress Shilpa Shetty so far in their investigation.

While arguing on the bail application, defence lawyer Abad Ponda said the charge sheet has been filed and the other accused who secured bail have even severe allegations against them compared to Kundra and Thorpe. As per the previous judgment of the courts unless the exceptional is not brought by the prosecution, the bail shouldn’t be denied if the punishment is not life or death penalty.
