Shilpa Shetty’s lawyer, Advocate Prashant Patil, has shared an official statement, refuting media reports that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) conducted raids at her residence.
A few hours ago, it was reported that the financial probe agency Enforcement Directorate (ED) raided spots linked to businessman Raj Kundra, along with several others, as part of a money laundering investigation. Now, Shilpa Shetty’s lawyer, Advocate Prashant Patil has issued an official statement, refuting media reports that have linked her to the investigation. Her lawyer clarified that reports about Shilpa Shetty’s residence being raided by the ED are false and ‘misleading’ and that the actress has nothing to do with any offence of whatsoever nature.
The statement shared by Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s lawyer Advocate Prashant Patil read, “There have been reports in the media saying that my client Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra has been raided by the Enforcement Directorate . These reports are not true and are misleading. As per my instructions, there is no Enforcement Directorate raid on Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra as she has nothing to do with any offence of whatsoever nature.”
He further added that the case in question is an ongoing probe regarding Shilpa’s husband Raj Kundra, and that he has been co-operating with the investigation for the truth to come out. “However, the case in question is an ongoing investigation regarding Mr Raj Kundra and he is cooperating with the investigation for truth to come out . Would request the electronic and print media to refrain from using the videos , pictures and name of Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra as she has nothing to do with the case . Strict cognisance shall be taken against irresponsible journalism wherein the pictures or videos of Mrs Shilpa Shetty Kundra are shared on this matter,” he concluded.
According to a report in Hindustan Times, the ED on Friday conducted searches at the premises of multiple individuals including Raj Kundra. Around 15 locations in Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh were reportedly being searched. The search operations are reportedly linked to a money-laundering investigation about the allegations surrounding the production and distribution of pornographic content through mobile applications.
