following the complaint lodged by an aspiring model who claimed her intimate video with a co-actor — shot in a park for an audition — was all over porn sites. Two persons were arrested.

Jayosree Mitra

(35), on a social networking site who allegedly offered to groom her for a better career on

platforms. The woman was allegedly asked to participate in a shoot at Salt Lake Central Park in March. For this, she even had to pay Rs 3,000. But the script had been changed at the last moment and she was forced to participate in the shoot, it was alleged.

Speaking to reporters outside a Salt Lake court, the woman said: “Within 7 to 10 days of the shoot, my friends and colleagues alerted me that a compromising video featuring me was online. I contacted the make-up artist and she said she would delete that. But it had already gone viral.” The cops first picked up Pratap Ghosh (33) from

Jadavpur

. He had allegedly shot the video. A video camera, a hard disk and a mobile phone containing porn contents were seized from him. After that Mitra was held from Kaikhali. They were remanded in 7 days’ police custody.
