Raj Kundra denies ties to accused Bangladeshi actor: I am deeply disturbed, these allegations are false

Raj Kundra, says that he has no connection with arrested Bangladeshi actor Riya Arvinda Barde.

However, Kundra tells that all these allegations are ‘false’. He says he is “deeply disturbed” by the news doing the rounds, “I am deeply disturbed by recent news articles circulating false allegations about me. These reports claim that an individual, allegedly an illegal immigrant, worked for me or was associated with one of my supposed production companies. Let me be very clear – I have never met this person, nor have I ever owned or been involved with any production company that this individual has worked for.”

He further calls the claims ‘baseless’, which are harming his reputation, “These baseless claims are not only damaging to my reputation but are also an attempt to exploit my name for sensationalism and media traction. I have always conducted my business with the utmost integrity, and I will not tolerate such false accusations.”

He is planning legal action. His lawyer Prashant Patil states, “There are certain reports in social, digital and print media regarding some alleged illegal immigrant getting arrested by Mumbai police. The fake reports are linking the said alleged accused to the production team of my clients Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Raj Kundra. This is misleading and has been intentionally done to defame my clients. There is a clear ulterior motive of dragging my client’s name in a controversial case for which my clients have no direct or indirect direct connection at all. Due to such mischievous act of creating such offensive content on social media , my clients are initiating criminal case with the cyber crime Mumbai police immediately under the provisions of Information and Technology Act.”

He adds, “Let me assure the public at large , as a lawyer representing Mr Raj Kundra and Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra. The criminals involved in creating a fake narrative with an intention to defame my clients shall be booked under stringent provisions of criminal law. We shall request for immediate arrests of such criminals who are circulating fake news regarding my clients. A separate suit for rupees 100 crores, for defamation, shall be initiated before the Honourable Bombay High Court against the media houses reporting this fake news.”
