MUMBAI POLICE BUSTS MAJOR PORN PRODUCTION RACKET
Mumbai Police’s crime branch has exposed a major racket wherein a porn film production company makes pornographic videos of young women under the pretext of giving them a break in film industry. The videos are then uploaded on porn sites and mobile apps.

Reportedly, there are several such production companies in the city who prey on young women who come to Mumbai, hoping to make it big in TV industry or Bollywood. The companies ask these women to compromise and make porn videos featuring them, and in turn, they are promised a break in a big-budget Bollywood movie.
Bungalows are rented all over Mumbai for filming these pornographic videos, which are then uploaded on porn sites and mobile apps. Such videos account for lakhs of rupees in revenue for the companies.
The accused also used to release trailers of such porn videos on social media sites including Instagram, Twitter, Telegram, and WhatsApp.
As per reports, property cell officials of Mumbai Police received a tip-off about the shooting of porn videos at a rented bungalow in Madh Village of Malad West. API Laxmikant Salunkhe raided the place while the shooting of a porn video was going on.
