Kolkata (West Bengal), August 7: Nandita Dutta, a 30-year-old model-cum-actress has been arrested along with her associate, Mainak Ghosh (he is a DoP). The duo have been accused, by two abused models, of allegedly forcing aspiring models to shoot pornographic content by either threatening them or by luring them with false hope of a "break" on mainstream OTT platforms.
Nancy Bhabhi, as Nandita is called on semi-pornographic
content sites, and Mainak were arrested by the police from their residence in Kolkata’s
neighbourhoods of Dum Dum and Naktala. Two harassed and abused young models had
filed a complaint with the New Town police on July 26 and this became the
reason of their arrest.
One of the models claimed that she was forced into
participating in a nude video at a studio in Ballygunge and that her friend was
forced to act in an adult video in a New Town hotel.
Even the studio owner has been caught and brought to the New
Town police station, alongwith the duo and are being questioned. The camera and
other equipment were seized from the studio in Ballygunge. The police, even
though it might be a long shot, suspects that its links may be related to Raj
Kundra case.
“We will grill them for their other accomplices and also to
know about places where they organised the shoots. We will also question them
to know where they used to sell these videos and if they were part of a larger
racket,” a senior police officer of the Bidhannagar Commissionerate said.
