Did Parambir Singh or some politician support Raj Kundra? Cops gave him time to destroy evidence, alleges Sagarika Shona Suman

MUMBAI: Sagarika Shona Suman – the gusty model who first blew the lid off Raj Kundra’s porn racket in February this year, Thursday demanded to know if former Mumbai police commissioner Parambir Singh or some senior politician or IPS officer was supporting Raj Kundra all along for the last 5 months and holding up the investigation into the Mumbai porn racket.

Speaking to IndyaTv.in in an exclusive interview, Sagarika Shona Suman alleged that if “Raj Kundra and his associates like Ryan Thorpe were picked up in February itself, all the evidence would have been intact.”

“They gave Raj Kundra and his team, time to destroy evidence. They gave him an opportunity to destroy his phone, delete the emails on the servers and wipe off other crucial evidence. I demand to know which cops were supporting Raj Kundra,” she said.

“Actress Gehana Vasisth, after her arrest, in her police statements had clearly taken Kundra’s name, claiming that he was the whole-and-sole owner of Hotshots and Kenrin Limited. She also told the cops that live shows were happening at Kundra’s office and meetings and agreements were signed with models at the same office,” Sagarika volunteered.

“In spite of having all this info, the cops did not even call him for questioning in Feb. They could have at least taken his phone and laptop for forensic analysis. But Raj Kundra was not even touched by a barge pole in February, in spite of the fact that the Maharashtra Cyber Cell was simultaneously investigating another case against him, in which Sherlyn Chopra and Poonam Pandey were involved,” she claimed, asking why was Raj Kundra protected?

“In fact, a senior inspector at the Crime Branch – Property Cell scotched at the idea and smirked when Raj Kundra’s name was taken by a freelance journalist,” Sagarika Shona Suman claimed, adding that “she is hundred  per cent sure a senior IPS officer or politician was helping Raj Kundra and that is why he was not even summoned for questioning.”

“In fact, two people I know had given the police evidence against Raj Kundra including his link or relation with Pardeep Bakshi – the UK owner of Kenrin Limited on paper. I went on record in a media interview stating that Kundra is the owner of HotShots. Another model Ishika, also gave media interviews in Feb, stating that Kundra owned Kenrin,” yet the police did not even bother to call him for investigation in February. Why,” Sagarika demanded to know?

“Information regarding Kundra’s involvement was also shared with the Malwani police officials who were investigating two FIRs – one against Rowa Khan and another against Gehana Vaisisth by a ‘social worker’ and an advocate. But they all laughed it away,” Suman said.

“Gehana Vasisths’ flat at Lokhandwala was simultaneously raided within two hours, without a warrant, when Rowa Khan alias Alisha alias Yasmin was caught red-handed shooting porn at a bungalow at Madh Island. Rowa Khan merely mentioned Gehana’s name and the cops rushed to her flat on 4th February evening and picked up her laptop, phones and other gadgets. But Raj Kundra was not even touched or summoned. He was so over-confident and sure of his security that he did not even bother to delete the data later on his office servers. He only destroyed his phone in Feb, which means he had some understanding somewhere,” Sagarika claimed.

“It is only after Hemant Nagrale took over as CP, that the investigation into the case was reopened in June,” Sagarika alleged.

She said all the evidence to implicate Raj Kundra was in the hands of the police in February itself. The police also mentioned all this evidence in the charge sheets filed against the arrested accused in the first week of April at the Metropolitan Magistrates’ Court at Esplanade.

“Actress Gehana Vasisth and Umesh Kamat had clearly told the police in February second week that they were both working for Raj Kundra and that he was the owner of HotShots. Umesh Kamat was arrested on February 8. His mobile phone was with the cops that had all the WhatsApp chats intact with Raj Kundra and emails exchanged between them. Kamat was also using a British sim card and masquerading as Roy Evans to show artistes that the app was being run and managed from the UK. The cops knew this in February itself, and in spite of such concrete evidence, Raj Kundra was not touched,” Sagarika said in her interview with this reporter.
