Raj Kundra arrested in an alleged pornography case that surfaced earlier this year involving nine individuals including model and actor Gehana Vasisht who were arrested.
According to TOI report, the property cell probed the case after it found the involvement of a UK production company, Kenrin. It arrested one of its executives Umesh Kamat who apparently was also a former employee of Kundra who was accused of uploading at least eight pornographic and obscene videos shot by Vasisht on a social media app for monetary consideration.
Proprietors of Kenrin, Pradeep Bakshi and Yash Thakur are both absconding and they suspect Kundra was one of the stakeholders in Kenrin, who has been put under arrest and sent to police custody until July 23.
Hotshots which was funded by Raj Kundra and managed by Umesh Kamat was known to source soft-porn videos from several content creators and even though this app is no longer readily available, the APK for the file is available on unofficial APK mirror websites.
The HotShots app is reportedly described as the “world’s first 18+ app” showcasing some of the “hottest” models and celebs globally in exclusive photos, short films and hot videos – implying soft-to-hard porn.
The app’s Android Application Package (APK) is still available on several websites. The app’s description on stores read, “HD videos & short movies with unmatched exposure” and promised “private content from hot photoshoots, short movies, and experience of the lifestyle of celebrities from all over the world”. Moreover, the app also allegedly offered services like live communication with “some of the hottest models around the world”.
The original content on the app was only accessible for paying subscribers only, as per media reports. Also, going by some social media posts it seemed as if the app also hosted a Miss HotShot contest 2019, with women asking netizens to download the app and vote for them.
