Raj Kundra, married to Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty, was arrested in the case in July 2021.
He is now out on bail.
His lawyer Prasant Patil filed the discharge application on July 20. It details became available on Wednesday.

A First Information Report (FIR) was registered against Raj Kundra and others after a woman approached the police and made certain allegations.

Raj Kundra was booked under Indian Penal Code sections 420 (cheating), 292 and 293 (related to obscene and indecent advertisements and displays) and sections of the Information Technology Act and Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act.
