Mumbai: In response to recent media reports suggesting an Enforcement Directorate (ED) raid on Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra, the actress through her lawyer, advocate Prashant Patil, has categorically dismissed the claims as "false and misleading."
The official statement of the lawyer of actress Shilpa Shetty Kundra 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. As per my instructions , there is no Enforcement Directorate raid on Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra as she has nothing to do with any offence of whatsoever nature.”
The statement comes after The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Friday raided 15 locations in Mumbai and some cities in Uttar Pradesh, including the home and office of 49-year-old businessman Raj Kundra and some other persons, the sources said. The agency is understood to be questioning Kundra at one of these premises. The raid is in connection with a money laundering case tied to the alleged production and distribution of pornographic and adult content.
“However , the case in question is an ongoing investigation regarding Mr Raj kundra and he is cooperating with the investigation for truth to come out. Would request the electronic and print media to refrain from using the videos , pictures and name of Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra as she has nothing to do with the case . Strict cognisance shall be taken against irresponsible journalism wherein the pictures or videos of Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra are shared on this matter.”
