Wife of a postal employee, in her early 40s was told by some unidentified persons that she possessed an attractive figure and she might earn both fame and money in the glamour world.

A police source informed, the next thing the woman did was get herself photographed, almost in nude, in a local studio. But in her utter disbelief and shock, the naked photographs were made available on cell phone screens through MMS.

The women who is a mother of three children, registered a case in Dholai PS alleging that she was forced by three youths including the owner of a local studio to pose nude in front of camera. She was even threatened with dire consequences if she opened her mouth, she alleged in the FIR. Police had already arrested Arup Paul (25), owner of the Radharaman Studio and his camera, computer and hard disk has been seized.

Search is on for nabbing the other two accused. Meanwhile Paul had reportedly confessed that he had snapped photographs of the woman, who had allegedly asked him to do so and even paid him money for the same.

A police source said, photographs were later developed in a studio at Silchar and suspectedly that studio played foul in sending the nude photographs via MMS. Police might make a raid in that studio, the source hinted.

The source further indicated that the woman actually asked Paul to snap her photographs in order to earn some easy money. But whom she would have sold the photographs to, the Police was now zeroing on in this question. THE SENTINEL
