A very chilling incident has come to light from North 24 Parganas, West Bengal. Here, a woman was rescued after six months of horrific abuse in a Howrah flat. The woman was allegedly tortured because she refused to participate in pornographic videos and work as a bar dancer.

She was lured by a false job promise, and was held captive. The woman was subjected to unimaginable cruelty, brutal assault for refusing porn role.

What happened?

According to reports, the victim was formerly employed in an event management company. However, she was deceived by a man identified as Arian Khan. He then offered her a lucrative job in Howrah, West Bengal.

Upon arriving in Domjur, Howrah, she was instead confined by Khan and his mother, Shweta Khan (also known as Fultushi Begam). For six months, she endured severe physical assault. This includes broken hands, feet, and teeth, beatings with iron rods, and prolonged starvation. Disturbingly, it is alleged that she was also sexually assaulted with an iron rod.

Woman escapes the Torture

According to reports the woman managed to escape last week. Her condition was so severe that she was immediately admitted to Sagor Dutta Medical College. The woman remains in critical condition with grievous injuries to her head, legs, and waist. Following the discovery of the woman her family promptly filed a complaint at Khardaha Police Station, triggering an immediate investigation.

Police conduct raid

The police raided the accused’s residence but found both Arian and Shweta Khan absconding. A manhunt is currently underway to apprehend the duo. Authorities are also investigating a suspicious production company named ‘Isara Entertainment’.

The production was run by the mother-son pair, which has been linked to a potential pornographic racket. The company’s YouTube channel, launched in 2021, had only uploaded 11 music videos in four years, raising red flags for investigators.
