Mumbai police have arrested Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra for allegedly producing and broadcasting pornographic films online, six years after the businessman was banned from cricket-related activities over match-fixing charges. Police announced Kundra's arrest late Monday (July , calling the 45-year-old "the key conspirator" in a case involving the creation and publication of adult films via internet apps. "We have sufficient evidence regarding this," police said in a press release, adding that investigations were ongoing. The arrest is the latest scandal to hit Kundra, who has two children with Shetty, the 2007 winner of British reality show Celebrity Big Brother. India has stringent laws against publishing and transmitting "obscene material", but watching pornography in private is legal.
