Crime Concerns Intensify: Sodepur-Khardaha Connection in Horrific Howrah Torture Case – What It Means for Local Safety


Khardaha, West Bengal: A horrifying case of alleged torture, forced prostitution, and the production of pornographic films, originating from Howrah, has sent shockwaves across West Bengal. What makes this chilling incident particularly resonant for our community is the victim's direct connection to Sodepur, a locality just adjacent to Khardaha. This proximity has ignited a pressing discussion about local safety and the pervasive challenge of human trafficking and exploitation in the region.

The victim, a 22-year-old woman from Sodepur, North 24 Parganas, managed to escape her captors around June 7th, after allegedly being held captive and subjected to brutal physical and mental abuse for months. Her courageous escape led to a complaint being lodged at the Khardah Police Station, initiating a swift police response that has brought this disturbing case to light.



The Horrific Allegations and Key Arrests

According to police sources and the victim's family, the woman was lured to a residence in Domjur, Howrah, by a man identified as Ariyan Khan, with the promise of a job at his 'event management company.' However, this facade allegedly masked a sinister operation. Upon arrival, the victim was reportedly confined, brutally assaulted, and pressured to engage in sex work and act in pornographic films. Injuries including cigarette burns and beatings with rods have been reported.

Following intense investigation, the Howrah City Police, acting on information from the Khardah Police Station FIR, successfully apprehended the primary accused duo: Ariyan Khan and his mother, Shweta Khan, also known as Fultusi, around June 11th and 12th. Shweta Khan is believed to be the alleged kingpin of the racket, operating under the guise of "Ishara Productions" or "Aryan Ishara." Police are also probing allegations of her past criminal activities, including an alleged extortion attempt and the tragic suicide of her own daughter in 2021, reportedly after being forced into similar illicit activities. There are also reports of Fultusi attempting to leverage alleged political connections, which state ministers have denied.



Currently, the victim is receiving critical medical treatment at the College of Medicine & Sagore Dutta Hospital, recovering from her ordeal. The National Commission for Women (NCW) has also taken suo motu cognizance of the case, highlighting its gravity and the broader issue of violence against women in West Bengal.



Local Reverberations: What It Means for Khardaha and Sodepur

The direct involvement of the Khardaha Police Station in registering the initial complaint underscores the close-knit nature of our communities and how state-level crime impacts local residents. This incident serves as a stark reminder of:

  • The Threat of Online Luring: The victim reportedly connected with one of the accused via social media. This highlights the urgent need for heightened awareness among young job seekers about the dangers of online recruitment scams and potential human trafficking networks.
  • Vulnerability of Job Seekers: Economic pressures can make individuals vulnerable to deceptive job offers. Community groups and government agencies must work to provide safe and verified employment opportunities.
  • Importance of Community Vigilance: Residents in Khardaha, Sodepur, and surrounding areas are urged to report any suspicious activities or individuals. A strong, informed community is the first line of defense against such criminal elements.
  • Law Enforcement's Role: The swift arrests in this case demonstrate the police's commitment to addressing heinous crimes, but sustained efforts and increased vigilance are crucial to building public trust and ensuring long-term safety.

Enhancing Safety: A Collective Responsibility

This horrifying case necessitates a multi-pronged approach to enhance safety and security within our local communities. Beyond police action, it calls for:

  • Public Awareness Campaigns: Educating youth and vulnerable populations about online dangers and exploitative job offers.
  • Community Policing: Strengthening collaboration between police and local residents to identify and address potential threats.
  • Support Systems: Ensuring robust support systems for victims of human trafficking and violence, including rehabilitation and legal aid.
  • Parental Guidance: Encouraging parents to have open conversations with their children about online safety and job search precautions.

As investigations continue, the community of Khardaha and Sodepur remains vigilant, demanding justice for the victim and stronger measures to prevent such atrocities from ever happening again.
