Mumbai: Sources have revealed that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) may also take action against businessman Raj Kundra, who is currently in police custody in a case related to the alleged production and distribution of pornographic films through apps. The ED can also file a case against Raj Kundra under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 and Foreign Exchange Management Act, said sources adding that the bank accounts of Raj Kundra's wife Shilpa Shetty will also be scanned by the Mumbai Police.
Mumbai Police can ask the law enforcement agency to probe the financial irregularities in the case as the regulations of the foreign transaction were also violated. Sources said that ED will take a copy of the FIR from the Mumbai Police after registering a case and it will issue summons against Kundra under money laundering and FEMA Act.
