Nandita Dutta
, a model-cum-actor from adult
OTT
contents has been arrested along with an associate
Mainak Ghosh
for allegedly forcing young models into pornography either by threatening them or making false promises of a “break” in OTT platforms.
The 30-year-old actress, popularly known by her screen name “Nancy Bhabhi” in semi-porn contents, and Mainak were nabbed from their homes in
Dum Dum and Naktala respectively. They were arrested after a complaint was lodged by two young models with
New Town
police on July 26.
One of the two models had alleged that she was forced to participate in a nude video at a Ballygunge studio and her friend was forced to shoot in an adult video at a New Town hotel by the same group.
Incidentally, the arrest comes after Bidhannagar police recently busted a
porn racket in New Town and Salt Lake arresting a photographer and a make-up artist in a separate but similar complaint last week. Initial investigation suggests the groups lure women from lower middle-class families striving for work with quick money or by threat of dire consequences and providing fake promises for a break.
The police are looking into the possibilities of whether these
porn
rackets have any connection with the Raj Kundra pornography case. They were produced before a Barasat court and were sent to police custody for a week. “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 videos and if they were part of a larger racket,” said a senior officer of the Bidhannagar Commissionerate.
