In a sensational move, the Mumbai Police arrested Kundra late on Monday on alleged charges of making and publishing pornographic content and publishing them through mobile applications.

The announcement on the shocking action was made by Police Commissioner Hemant Nagrale himself, based on a case registered in February.

Since then, Kundra, 46, - a British-Indian businessman - was under the scanner of the Crime Branch-CID before the police`s dramatic move last night.

The sudden arrest stunned Bollywood which is under the radar for the past year with narcotics probes.

Further investigation is in progress," the police chief added.
