Sources said Thakur earned through an app called Fliz Movies and the money was deposited in one PNB account in Indore and an ICICI account in Kanpur. The PNB account had R2.25 crore, while the other had Rs 2.5 crore, they said.
“We are trying to find the current location of Yash Thakur. The police are also trying to trace his family and we suspect Thakur is from Varanasi,” said a Crime Branch officer.
“Thakur contacts porn filmmakers and pays them advance through different gateways. Our probe into these transactions led us to his bank accounts,” said the officer. The police have arrested 9 people, including Gehana, for luring aspiring actors with jobs in web series and pushing them to do “bold” scenes.
