As per the Cyber Police’s charge-sheet filed before a court previously, Kundra along with Sherlyn, Poonam, a film producer Meeta Jhunjhunwala and a cameraman Raju Dubey were accused of allegedly shooting the obscene or porn videos in two suburban five-star hotels, which were distributed by OTT platforms for monetary gains.

Poonam has also been accused of developing her own mobile App, The Poonam Pandey, getting her obscene videos shot, uploading and circulating them with the help of Kundra’s company. According to the Cyber Police, Dubey had also shot Chopra’s videos, while Jhunjhunwala is accused of aiding and abetting by scripting and directing stories for her (Chopra).

The Cyber Police has claimed that Kundra’s company “aided and abetted the crime” as it derived financial benefits from all the other co-accused though aware that such things are illegal, even as they are on the lookout for some other “missing” models who acted in the porn videos or web series.
