Mumbai: Actor Shilpa Shetty shouted at her husband Raj Kundra and wept when he was brought to their home in Mumbai by the police for the first time since his arrest in a porn case last week, police sources say. Shilpa Shetty's husband arrested for making porn

"We have everything, what was the need to do all this," the actor said to Raj Kundra as he arrived at their home on Friday evening with the Mumbai Police for a search, according to the sources.

Shilpa Shetty shouted at her husband and wept when he was brought home by the police "We have everything, what was the need to do all this," Shilpa reportedly said to Raj when he arrived at their home on Friday. 

Raj Kundra, 45, was arrested last Monday for allegedly producing and streaming porn content through mobile apps. He was sent to judicial custody today for 14 days.

Statement taken from Shilpa Shetty
The police also took a statement from Shilpa Shetty as they searched the bungalow in which the couple lives with their two children.

Businessman Raj Kundra was arrested on July 19 in a pornography case. He was brought home for the first time after his arrest on Friday, July 23, as the Mumbai Police Crime Branch conducted a raid and questioned his wife and actor Shilpa Shetty at their Juhu residence. Shilpa was questioned for six hours by the officials.

Family reputation ruined...
Police sources claim the actor broke down on seeing her husband and said that the "family's reputation was ruined, their endorsements in the industry were being cancelled and that she had to give up many projects". She also talked about financial losses, according to the sources.

Why did Shilpa Shetty quit as director last year?
The police are investigating why Shilpa Shetty quit as director of Raj Kundra's Viaan Industries last year. Sources say her financial documents are being audited.

The police say so far, they have not found any evidence that Shilpa Shetty had any involvement in the case. She has been questioned twice - once at a police station and the second time during Friday's search of her home. Sources say it has not been established whether the actor was aware of her husband's alleged porn films operation.

Police sources say there is no electronic or financial evidence or any documentary evidence linking Shilpa Shetty to the case. No witness has named her either.

Raj Kundra "is not cooperating"
Raj Kundra "is not cooperating" with the investigations, the police claim on the businessman who has challenged his arrest before the Bombay High Court.

Nine more people, including Raj Kundra's close aide Ryan Thorpe, have been arrested in the case.

Four employees of Raj Kundra have turned witnesses against him and have reportedly told the police that they were asked to delete clips.

Clips uploaded from "HotShots"
The employees reportedly said the clips were uploaded from "HotShots", the businessman's controversial app that the police believe was used for streaming porn.

The app, said police, was removed from the Google Play Store for Android phones and Apple's App Store, so the accused "activated Plan B" and launched another app, Bollyfame.

The Mumbai Crime Branch has separately appointed a financial auditor to probe the money trail of Kundra and his celebrity wife and their alleged involvement in the pornography racket case. Yesterday, their joint bank accounts in the city of Kanpur were also seized. Sources told ANI earlier that the police is also probing whether money earned from the apps was being invested in bitcoins by Kundra. The charges Kundra is currently facing including Indian Penal Code Sections 420 (cheating), 34 (common intention), 292 and 293 (related to obscene and indecent advertisements and displays) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) besides relevant sections of the IT Act and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act.
