Kundra, along with three others, went to Kongaon police station in Bhiwandi on Wednesday to record his statement in connection with a cheating case.

He apparently took a picture with the investigating officer (IO), V Deshmukh, which he later uploaded on his Instagram account.

The caption on Instagram read: “Visited a Police station in Thane. I honestly feel sorry for the cops who work endless hours in very mediocre surroundings. Government needs to spend more on upgrading their stations for a better working environment for all cops. A picture With Inspector #Deshmukh ji.”

“One has to be professional. We took Deshmukh off the case because he clicked a picture with Raj Kundra, who is an alleged accused in a cheating case,” said Manoj Patil, deputy commissioner of police (zone II).

M Sawant, senior police inspector of Kongaon police station, will now handle the case.

Last month, the Thane police booked Shetty, Kundra and three others – all directors of an online shopping TV show Best Deal – for allegedly cheating a textile firm owner of Rs24 lakh.
