Mumbai police have arrested Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra for allegedly producing and broadcasting pornographic films online, six years after the businessman was banned from cricket-related activities over match-fixing charges.

Police announced Kundra's arrest late Monday, calling the 45-year-old “the key conspirator” in a case involving the creation and publication of adult films via internet apps. “We have sufficient evidence regarding this,” police said in a press release, adding that investigations were ongoing.

The arrest is the latest scandal to hit Kundra, who has two children with Shetty, the 2007 winner of British reality show Celebrity Big Brother.

In 2015, Kundra was banned for life from all cricket-related activities, following an investigation into match-fixing during his stint as the co-owner with Shetty of the Rajasthan Royals, a franchise in the hugely successful Indian Premier League.

India has stringent laws against publishing and transmitting “obscene material”, but watching pornography in private is legal. According to the adult site Pornhub, the nation of 1.3 billion was its third largest source of traffic in 2018, behind the United States and Britain.

In 2015, a government-appointed board of censors blocked the release of the erotic film Fifty Shades of Grey in cinemas, despite being shown a toned-down version, sparking claims of moral policing.

Indian has so much poverty and joblessness and very little to keep their minds healthy and occupied that people have nothing constructive to do other than visit adult sites unlike Britain and the US where people watch it for having a good time.

India is always at the bottom of list when it comes to moral values. Only Mughals and Afghans uplifted them during their 1000 year rule over Indians.

@Ahmed khan lehri Even more than porno, India makes a big chunk of its GDP from red light parlors and escort services targeting tourists and business travelers. Offering little boys and girls too. Dirt cheap, so they say.
