The police have also caught high definition video camera, six mobile phones, a laptop, spotlights, a camera stand, memory card containing video clips and dialogues/clips said a senior official.
The raid was executed after the police got information that a gang was publishing advertisements of fresh faces and under the guise of giving them a character in a movie they used to take these bungalows and make them do odd scenes, attract them with bigger amounts and make them sign agreements and compel them to act in porn movies. These clips were uploaded on apps and social media which would make revenue.
