Raj Kundra and his\nbrother-in-law Pradeep Bakshi are the alleged masterminds of the international\nporn films racket perpetrated through their content production companies based\nin India and the United Kingdom.

Models were allegedly lured in with promises of film offers and then forced to shoot porn.\u00a0When the women resisted, they were threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After further probe the police sought the court\u2019s permission to search Kundra\u2019s office. Eventually, a police team raided his office on Monday and claimed to have found \u201cincriminating evidence\u201d based on which he was arrested late that night. The police also said that Kundra received massive sums of money and they seized foreign currencies and electronic devices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Police described Mr Kundra\nas the Key Conspirator in the case and said that they have sufficient evidence\nagainst him. They found proof of clips from Mr Kundra\u2019s Office. His IT manager,\nRyan Thorpe was arrested on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHotshots\u201d <\/strong>has been removed from the mobile platforms and both Apple and Google have removed the App.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
