According to the report, the ED had registered a case against Raj Kundra and his associates who were allegedly involved in the adult film racket and that they will start summoning all of them in the next few days. The report further added that the agency had also collected a copy of the FIR against Raj from the Mumbai Police and has asked for copies of the charge sheet too. The businessman’s lawyer had said on this, “The predicate offense registered by Mumbai Police has culminated into a charge sheet and pending before the Court. The said predicate case does not carry any allegations of proceeds of crime. There are no allegations by the Mumbai police in the entire charge sheet which may attract the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act. In whichever case, we have complete faith in the investigation, and we shall cooperate with the investigation to the best of our ability."
