In response to media reports linking his wife, actress Shilpa Shetty, to the case, Raj Kundra issued a firm statement on social media.

"To whom it may concern, while the media seems to have a flair for drama, let's set the record straight: I'm fully cooperating with the ongoing investigation. Claims involving 'associates', 'pornographic content,' and 'money laundering' won't cloud the truth-justice will prevail!" he wrote. K

Kundra expressed his frustration over Shilpa's name being frequently dragged into unrelated matters, adding, "Please respect the boundaries...!!!"

Shilpa Shetty's lawyer, Prashant Patil, also issued a statement clarifying her lack of involvement. "There have been reports of ED raids on Mrs. Shilpa Shetty Kundra. These are false and misleading. She has no connection to any offence of any nature," he stressed.

Patil urged the media to be responsible, warning against the use of Shilpa's images or videos in relation to the case.

"The ongoing investigation pertains to Raj Kundra, who is cooperating fully. Using Shilpa's name or visuals without basis is irresponsible journalism and may invite strict action," the statement concluded.

This case adds to Kundra's legal issues following his 2021 arrest over the alleged production and distribution of adult content, though he has consistently denied the allegations.
