Marathi actor Umesh Kamat wrongly linked to Raj Kundra pornography case, pursues legal action citing defamation

Mumbai: Actor Umesh Kamat, who has starred in shows such as "Asambhav" and "Eka Lagnachi Teesri Goshta", has come out with a statement stating that he has been "unnecessarily dragged in the controversy concerning businessman Raj Kundra". He said: "I, Umesh Kamat an actor by profession, have been unnecessarily dragged in the controversy concerning businessman Mr. Raj Kundra, due to the lack of due diligence by news channels/media platforms." "Mr. Raj Kundra and his associate Mr. Umesh Kamat, who co-incidentally shares my name have been accused of allegedly producing and creating pornographic content. While this news is being reported by various news channels/media platforms my name and image are being tainted by leading media platforms/portals as my pictures/photographs which are available in the public domain are being misused by representing me as the accused involved in the Raj Kundra case," he added.
