Bengal Woman Confined, Tortured By Man, His Mother For Refusing To Do Porn
Kolkata:
Howrah Police have launched a search for a man and his mother who allegedly detained and assaulted a woman in their residence in Domjur in Howrah district for refusing to act in a pornographic film, an officer said on Sunday. The 23-year-old woman, a resident of Sodepur in North 24 Parganas district, is undergoing treatment at the College of Medicine and Sagore Dutta Hospital, the officer of Barrackpore Police Commissionerate said.
"The accused woman and her son are absconding and a search for them has been launched. We are trying to probe whether they were running any pornography film racket in the veil of running an event management agency," an officer of Howrah City Police said.
Sources in the police said that the accused woman, along with her son, was also running a film production house where "soft pornographic reels" were shot.
"Initial probe has revealed that they used to lure young girls looking for employment under the pretext of a good salary and then force them to take part in films with pornographic content," the officer said.
The accused woman was also allegedly running a sex racket in the area, he said, adding that it was also being probed.
The victim alleged that, more than the son, his mother used to torture her during her "captivity" at their Domjur residence. "I want the police to arrest the woman. She used to torture me the most. She used to beat me while this guy, her son, used to watch that from a distance," she said.
The victim had come in contact with the man from Howrah's Domjur on Facebook last year. He had promised her a job if she came to his residence, a police officer said.
When she visited his Domjur residence to discuss the job, the youth, along with his mother, allegedly assaulted her after failing to lure her into the profession of a bar dancer and forced her to do domestic chores, the woman's parents said in the police complaint lodged at Khardah police station.
The victim has also claimed that her mobile phone was taken away by the two accused.

Airtel cracks down on online fraud in T.N., blocks 1,80,000 malicious links
As part of the nationwide rollout of its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered fraud detection system, Airtel has blocked over 1,80,000 malicious links and safeguarded more than 3 million users across the State. Automatically enabled for all Airtel mobile and broadband customers, the advanced system scans and filters links across SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, e-mail, and other browsers. It leverages real-time threat intelligence to examine over 1 billion URLs daily and blocks access to harmful sites in under 100 milliseconds, said the Airtel in a press release. For instance, if a resident in Salem receives a suspicious message that reads: 'Your package is delayed. Track it here: And if the unsuspecting resident then clicks on the link, Airtel's system also clicks into gear. It instantly scans the link and if flagged as suspicious, it blocks access. The user is redirected to a warning message that reads: 'Blocked! Airtel found this site dangerous!' All this instantaneously. This real-time interception prevents users from falling victim to all kinds of frauds. Tarun Virmani, CEO-Tamil Nadu and Kerala, Bharti Airtel, said that at a time when digital threats were becoming more advanced and widespread, the need for a strong and dependable secure mobile network was more essential than ever. Commenting at the event, Sandeep Mittal, Additional Director General of Police, Cyber Crime Wing, said: 'We are pleased that the Airtel team informed us and offered a comprehensive overview of their initiative for fraud detection solutions, detailing its goals and operational methodology.'

Sidhu Moose Wala was killed due to..., reveals gangster Goldy Brar after 3 years
Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead May 29 at Jawaharke village in Punjab's Mansa district, leaving behind the whole nation in shock. He was shot dead by unidentified assailants. The attack came a day after the Aam Admi Party-led government withdrew Sidhu's security cover. Within hours, a Punjabi gangster named Goldy Brar used Facebook to take responsibility for ordering the killing. But even three years after the murder, no one has been prosecuted and Goldie Brar is still absconding. His whereabouts are also unknown. Now BBC has managed to contact Brar and asked him how and why Sidhu Moose Wala was killed. Sidhu Moosewala, whose real name was Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, was widely known for his gangster raps, was murdered when Brar gave orders. To the BBC, the gangster said Moose Wala made some mistakes that could not be forgiven. 'In his arrogance, he made some mistakes that could not be forgiven. We had no option but to kill him. He had to face the consequences of his actions. It was either him or us. As simple as that,' the Canada-based gangster said, who is officially designated a terrorist. While Goldy Brar claimed to have ordered the hit, he was not in India when Moose Wala was killed. The Punjabi singer had taken his Thar for a spin near his native village when assailants rained bullets at his SUV. Goldy Brar also revealed that his friend and jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi was in contact with Moose Wala. In an attempt to flatter Bishnoi, the singer would send him 'good morning' and 'good night', claimed Brar. Brar further said, 'Moose Wala had promoted the tournament which was organised by Bishnoi's rivals – the Bambiha gang. That's a village our rivals come from. He was promoting our rivals. That's when Lawrence and others were upset with him. They threatened Sidhu and said they wouldn't spare him'. 'Everyone knew Sidhu's role, the police investigating knew, even the journalists who were investigating knew. Sidhu Moose Wala mixed with politicians and people in power. He was using political power, money, and his resources to help our rivals. We wanted him to face punishment for what he'd done. He should have been booked. He should have been jailed. But nobody listened to our plea. So we took it upon ourselves. When decency falls on deaf ears, it's the gunshot that gets heard,' Brar added.

Bengal: Howrah sex racket prime accused held, kingpin still absconding
Ariyan was arrested after being on the run for five days, the officer said, adding that his mother and the key accused in the case, Shweta Khan alias Fultusi, still remains absconding. Besides Ariyan, one of his accomplices, a minor, has also been apprehended from Narendrapur in South 24 Parganas, the police said. Kolkata, Jun 11 (PTI) The West Bengal Police on Wednesday arrested Ariyan Khan, one of the prime accused in the Howrah shady film racket, from a hideout in the Golf Green area of south Kolkata, a senior officer said. 'We have held Ariyan from a residence in Golf Green. He is currently being questioned. We will share the details of our investigation with you in some time,' Howrah Police Commissioner Praveen Tripathi told reporters. A team of Howrah City Police personnel picked up Ariyan at around 11 am from an intersection on Prince Ghulam Mohammad Shah Road under Golf Green PS when he was trying to move to a residence of his acquaintance, sources said. Another team had raided a house on Deshapran Sashmal Road in the neighbourhood late Tuesday evening after receiving a tip-off that Shweta could be hiding there, but failed to catch the suspect. Earlier, Howrah City Police had detained Shweta's mother for questioning. Shweta's youngest child, her three-year-old daughter, has also been rescued by the police from the residence of an unidentified person in Kolkata. Shocking events came to light last week after a 22-year-old woman from the Panihati area in North 24 Parganas managed to escape the clutches of the mother-son duo who had allegedly confined her in their Bankra-Fakirpara flat in Domjur, Howrah for the previous five months and mercilessly tortured her for not agreeing to work as a bar dancer. She allegedly was lured by Ariyan to his Domjur property, Ishara Productions, under the pretext of offering a job at his event management company, which the police have now confirmed to be a fake entity and a front for the racket run by the mother-son duo. The victim is currently undergoing treatment at the Critical Care Unit at the state-run Sagar Dutta Hospital with serious and multiple injuries on her head, limbs and internal organs. The woman alleged that she was regularly assaulted by Shweta, who broke the victim's hands, feet and teeth and was beaten up with iron rods and left starving after she refused to accede to her demands. The police confirmed that the minor, who was picked up alongside Ariyan, was also directly involved in the torture. Ariyan, police said, was slapped with relevant non-bailable sections under the BNS for attempt to murder, causing grievous hurt and outrage of modesty, among others. The details of the case popped up in public domain, subsequent to the victim alerting the police about bar dancer Shweta's modus operandi of luring girls through her son's fake event management firm and then forcing them to work as dancers in shady bars. Locals alleged that the family ran a unit of making pornography films from the Domjur property. Taking suo-motu cognizance of the case, the National Commission for Women has written to the West Bengal DGP seeking an action-taken report within the next 48 hours. 'The commission strongly condemns this barbaric act and Hon'ble Chairperson NCW has written to the DGP of West Bengal seeking immediate arrest of the accused under relevant provisions of the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, and has also directed that the victim be provided with free medical care and psychological counselling. A detailed action taken report must be submitted to the commission within 3 days,' the NCW wrote on X on Tuesday evening. The victim's mother has also reportedly written to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, demanding immediate arrest of the accused, seeking justice for her daughter after reports that her physical condition deteriorated since Tuesday evening. 'I have written to the chief minister seeking justice for my daughter, whose condition remains critical. I have faith in her administration. I am happy that Ariyan has now been arrested. But his mother, who is the kingpin of the racket, must also be arrested without delay,' she told a Bengali news channel. PTI SMY BDC This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.
