Shilpa Shetty’s lawyer denies ED raid reports at her residence, calls them ‘Misleading’

• Patil clarified that Shetty is not involved in the case or any legal offense.
• The investigation into the 2022 pornography case involves her husband, who is cooperating with authorities.
• Raj Kundra denied any active involvement in the case and maintained he was falsely accused.

On the morning of Friday, November 29, 2024, several media reports claimed that the ED had raided Shilpa Shetty's residence in connection with her husband Raj Kundra's pornography case. However, Shilpa Shetty's lawyer officially rejected these claims, stating that she has "nothing to do with the case."

The actress's advocate, Prashant Patil, issued an official statement clarifying the earlier media reports, stating that the actress is not involved in the case or any legal offense. Therefore, he emphasized, there is no reason for the Enforcement Directorate to raid her residence.

Advocate Patil's statement read, "There have been reports in the media saying that my client, Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra, has been raided by the Enforcement Directorate. These reports are not true and are misleading. There is no Enforcement Directorate raid on Mrs. Shilpa Shetty Kundra as she has nothing to do with any offense of whatsoever nature."

He also stated that the investigation into the 2022 pornography case involves her husband, businessman Raj Kundra, who is cooperating with authorities to uncover the truth.

Shilpa’s lawyer urged media channels to stop using the Sukhee actress's images or videos in connection with the case. He explained that such actions were damaging her reputation and warned of legal action against those who continued to do so.

The issue stemmed from a news report by the PTI news agency, which claimed that the ED raided Shetty's and other people's residences on November 29, 2024, in connection with the money laundering case linked to the alleged distribution of pornographic and adult movies through the 'Hotshots' app. The report noted that authorities were searching 15 locations in Mumbai and some cities in Uttar Pradesh.

The investigation into the case began in May 2022, when Raj Kundra and several others connected to him were arrested for a few weeks and later granted bail. However, the businessman denied any active involvement in the case and maintained that he was falsely accused.

Earlier this year, the couple faced additional legal challenges when the ED attached assets worth ₹98 crores belonging to them in a separate cryptocurrency-related case. However, they received relief from the Bombay High Court, which overturned the attachment order.
