Sherlyn Chopra was summoned by Mumbai Crime Branch on Monday to record her statement in the case. According to a report in Times of India, in her complaint, she alleged that Raj Kundra called her business manager about a proposal in 2019.

As per the report, he landed at her place over an argument related to a text message.


Sherlyn in her complaint alleged Raj Kundra started kissing her despite her resistance. TOI report quotes the actress as saying that she didn't want to be involved with a married man nor mix business with pleasure. 


Adding more, Sherlyn said that Raj Kundra told her that his relationship with actress-wife Shilpa Shetty was complicated and he was stressed at home. Sherlyn claimed that she 'pushed' him away and ran to the washroom as she was scared.
