Howrah sex racket accused charged with fraud
Cops said the accused had used these documents to open accounts in multiple banks. Khan was presented before the Howrah chief judicial magistrate's bench on Saturday, which extended her police custody by five days.
Fultusi and her son Aryan Khan were arrested last month after a 22-year-old woman from Sodepur alleged that she had been held captive and tortured by the duo.
Police said the duo ran a sex racket in the name of running an event management company called Ishara Productions from a rented apartment in Howrah's Bankra, and would coerce women into pornography and sex work, subjecting those who refused to torture.

Four held for duping retired scientist of ₹1.29 crore
Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF) on Saturday arrested four members of a gang here for duping a retired scientist of ₹1.29 crore by digitally 'arresting' him, an official note on Saturday. (File) The gang targeted Shukdev Nandi, 72, who retired as a scientist from the Indian Veterinary Research Institute (IVRI), Bareilly. It made a WhatsApp call to Nandi, displaying a fake caller ID with the Bengaluru City Police logo. They falsely claimed that a SIM card linked to his Aadhaar was used in a human trafficking and job scam, and that illegal funds had been deposited into his account, the note said. A police official said one of the fraudsters identified himself as CBI officer Dayanayak. Over the next three days, Nandi was coerced into transferring ₹1.29 crore into multiple bank accounts. Realising that he had been duped, an FIR was registered at the Bareilly cybercrime police station on June 26 under sections 318(4), 319(2), 308(6), 61(2), and 111 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) along with Section 66D of the IT Act. Following this, the STF was assigned to assist with the investigation, the press release stated. Acting on a tip-off, the STF team arrested four suspects on Friday near a flyover in Gomti Nagar Extension. Those arrested were identified as Shyam Kumar (Sitapur), Rajneesh Dwivedi and Sudhir Kumar Chaurasia (Gonda), and Mahendra Pratap Singh alias Chandan Singh (Balrampur). All were currently living in Lucknow. STF officials said that efforts were underway to identify and arrest other key players in the racket.
