As per other reports, a source close to Mumbai Police informed that Shilpa refuted her connection to Kundra's Hotshots app. She also mentioned that erotica is different from porn. 

Meanwhile, Kundra also filed a petition in Bombay High Court after his bail plea was rejected. He claimed that his name was not mentioned in the original F.I.R. and that his arrest is 'illegal'. 

Kundra is currently in Byculla Jail in Mumbai, where the police took him after they conducted raids at his residence on Saturday. He has been booked under sections 420 (cheating), 34 (common intention), 292, and 293 (related to obscene and indecent advertisements and displays) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) besides relevant sections of the IT Act and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act. 

The investigation is still underway.
