Indian Premier League cricket team Rajasthan Royals' co-owner Raj Kundra, whose passport was seized by Delhi police on Wednesday after some 12 hours' interrogation, today slammed the media for creating concocted news about him and his possible arrest in connection with the IPL betting scam (See: Cricketgate: cops seize Raj Royals co-owner Kundra's passport).

The UK-based businessman was joined by his actress wife Shilpa Shetty in blasting the media's reporting on micro-blogging site Twitter. ''Good morning woke up to news raj kundra faces the heat. Yes it's very hot in Mumbai. Media has misconstrued everything using unreliable sources. Try speaking to the main guys at crime branch. Why does media hype things and make such stupid claims to sell news.''

About his possible arrest he wrote, ''Is there an arrest warrant? I am back home in Mumbai. Kindly let Delhi crime branch do their work. Media stop using derogatory statement.''

Shilpa Shetty wrote on Twitter, ''Really upset with the media fr casting aspersions without any proof, making derogatory statements. Uncalled for and not to be tolerated.

''Just to reiterate, will do it all it takes to reach to the bottom of this ''spot-fixing case'' and be of complete help till that happens!''
