North 24 Parganas (Bengal) – For refusing to work in pornographic films, a woman was subjected to barbaric torture by Shweta Khan and her son Aryan Khan. The injuries inflicted on her body are so severe that she cannot even stand upright. The victim has been admitted to a hospital and is undergoing treatment. The duo held the woman hostage in a flat for a staggering 6 months. During this period, she was mercilessly beaten with an iron rod and kept starved for days. Both her hands, legs, and teeth have been broken. Shockingly, there was even an attempt to insert an iron rod into her private parts, as alleged.

2. There, Shweta and Aryan attempted to force her into making pornographic videos and working as a bar dancer. When she refused, she was subjected to horrific atrocities.

3. After 6 months, the victim managed to escape from the clutches of her captors. Her family lodged a complaint with the police.

4. According to sources, Shweta Khan had started a film production outfit named ‘Isra Entertainment.’ She also ran a YouTube channel since 2021, uploading only 11 videos in 4 years.

5. The police suspect Shweta Khan was involved in a racket producing pornographic films. Local residents claim Shweta Khan, also known as ‘Fultushi Begum,’ was previously a bar dancer.
