Riya Arvinda Barde, a Bangladeshi adult film actress, was recently arrested by the Hill Line Police in Ulhasnagar for residing illegally in India using forged documents. The case has unveiled several hidden layers, including her connections with Raj Kundra’s production company. This article delves into the details of this complex and intriguing case.
Background of Riya Barde
Riya Barde, also known by the names Arohi Barde and Banna Sheikh, has been a prominent figure in the adult film industry. Originally from Bangladesh, Riya was living in India under false pretenses. Her arrest has brought to light several startling facts about her background and the lengths her family went to remain in India.
Early Life and Entry into India
Riya, a 22-year-old Bangladeshi national, entered India with her family. Her mother married Arvind Barde, a resident of Amravati, to facilitate their stay. The family managed to acquire Indian passports through forged documents. According to a police report, Riya's parents are currently in Qatar, while her brother and sister are missing.
Arrest and Legal Issues
The situation came to light when a friend of Riya discovered her Bangladeshi origins and reported her to the police. The investigation revealed that her mother, Anjali Barde (also known as Ruby Sheikh), had been living in India illegally with her children. They had assumed new identities to blend in.
The Police Investigation
Sangram Malkar, the police sub-inspector overseeing the case, stated, “During the investigation, we uncovered that Riya’s mother, Anjali, is originally from Bangladesh and has been living in India illegally with her two daughters and son. Riya’s mother married Arvind Barde while claiming to be from West Bengal. She subsequently obtained an Indian passport by submitting forged birth certificates and other falsified documents.”
Connection with Raj Kundra
Reports suggest that Riya Barde was associated with Raj Kundra’s production company and featured in several adult films, including collaborations with actress Gehana Vasisth. However, Raj Kundra has denied any connection with Riya.
Raj Kundra's Statement
Raj Kundra, husband of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, stated, “These reports claim that an individual, allegedly an illegal immigrant, worked for me or was associated with one of my supposed production companies. Let me be very clear – I have never met this person, nor have I ever owned or been involved with any production company that this individual has worked for.”
Implications and Next Steps
The case of Riya Barde has raised serious questions about the ease with which individuals can forge documents and live illegally in India. The police are currently searching for Riya’s family members who are still at large.
Options for Dissatisfied Students
Students unhappy with their BTEUP results can apply for re-evaluation or scrutiny. Re-evaluation involves the examiner reviewing the answer sheet and potentially awarding revised marks.
Conclusion
The arrest of Riya Barde has brought to light a complex web of deceit involving forged documents and illegal residency. The connection to Raj Kundra’s production company adds another layer of intrigue to this already sensational case. As the investigation continues, more details are expected to emerge, shedding further light on this multifaceted issue.
