MUMBAI: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) on Monday questioned actor Gehana Vasisth for around seven hours for her suspected role in the alleged production and circulation of pornographic content through mobile apps. The actor has been asked to appear on Tuesday for further questioning.
Vasisth was earlier arrested by the Mumbai police on February 6, 2021, based on cyber records and details revealed by a few other accused. The police had then suspected that she was associated with the shooting of obscene videos that were uploaded on illegal mobile apps and sites, including those located abroad.
The ED's money-laundering probe is based on a case registered by the Mumbai police in February 2021, following a raid at a bungalow in Madh Island where a production company was allegedly filming intimate videos and streaming them via websites and mobile apps like Hotshots. While five persons were arrested from the spot, a young female actor gave a witness testimony and helped uncover the alleged pornography racket. The probe later revealed that the accused had allegedly used pressure to convince female actors to shoot intimate scenes despite their reluctance.
