The case against Vasisth and the producers was registered at Malvani Police Station. Gehana Vasisth, an actor by profession, is currently on bail. She was released after four months of being arrested in the pornography case in February this year.

As per the latest update in the case against Raj Kundra and his associate Ryan Trope, Kundra's wife Shilpa Shetty moved to Bombay High Court against several media outlets, according to Times of India.

During investigations, the Mumbai police crime branch reportedly discovered a hidden closet in Raj Kundra's Viaan and JL Stream office in Andheri, Mumbai. His wife, Shilpa Shetty, has not yet been given a clean chit in the case as the police said that she is likely to be summoned again for questioning. As per reports, Shetty's phone is also likely to be cloned by the crime branch.

Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) imposed a fine of three lakh rupees on Shetty and Raj Kundra as they were allegedly involved in insider trading. Read more about it here. The Mumbai police crime branch has also stated that forensic auditors will be appointed to investigate the transactions in all accounts of the people involved in the pornographic case.

He is accused of producing pornographic films under the banner of Kernin Production House and releasing them on a mobile application named HotShot in India.

Another individual involved in the case, Sherlyn Chopra, has been summoned by the police to give her statement in relation to the case. This happened after the Bombay High Court rejected the anticipatory bail plea.
