MUMBAI: A Mumbai Sessions Court on Thursday said it will hear bail applications of businessman and actor Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra and his associate Ryan Thorpe on 10 August.

The court also issued to Mumbai Police and asked for its reply on the bail plea. Both Kundra and Thorpe have challenged the magistrate court’s order that rejected their bail applications.

Currently, both are in judicial custody in the pornography case. Earlier, their bail applications were rejected by Esplanade magistrate court, stating that the release of the accused will ‘hamper the investigation’ and the alleged offence is ‘detrimental to the health of the society.

On August 2, the Bombay High Court reserved its order on petitions filed by Raj Kundra and his associate Ryan Thorpe challenging their arrest in a case in connection with the pornography racket case. ANI
