The crime branch, probing the case, had recently filed a supplementary chargesheet against Kundra and three others in the case pertaining to alleged creation of pornographic films and publishing them through some apps.
After that, the accused approached the metropolitan court for bail, saying that the investigation in the case was practically over.
In the bail, filed through advocate Prashant Patil, Kundra claimed that there is not a single iota of evidence till date with the prosecution that would connect the app ''Hotshots'' with an offence under law.
Kundra was arrested on July 19 after being booked under relevant sections of the IPC and the Information Technology Act.
