Porn films made by Tripura rebels are sold in various parts of India and nearby countries, and the money generated by sales is used to buy arms to support the guerrilla campaign against Indian forces.
A police official investigating the case said several women cadres of the outlawed All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) and NLFT had fled their jungle hideouts after being subjected to frequent sexual abuse by leaders.
The opening sequence of the film 'Hamjagoi Tongthoklaima' in the local language of Tripura, makes it look like a romantic thriller. But soon the frames shifts from mere holding of hands to explicit sex scenes with young tribal women clad in jeans and skirts featuring in the film made in the digital format.
'Hamjagoi Tongthoklaima' or 'Our Experiences' is no ordinary film but a porn movie unearthed by a team of local journalists in Tripura and later corroborated by police as being an example of how tribal separatists are forcibly using women to act in porn films that are sold to raise funds for their rebellion.
It is just one of many porn films reportedly made by the outlawed National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT), a group fighting for an independent homeland in the state bordering Bangladesh.
Police said they learned about the films with explicit sex scenes featuring tribal women from surrendered NLFT rebels. "We found out that rebel leaders forced several women cadres and some male recruits into acting in many pornographic films shot in the jungles," a senior police official was reported to have said, quoting some surrendered NLFT rebels.
"Many girls fled from the grip of the rebels and narrated their experiences to us," the source said. "Obviously the money made from such porn films was used for their armed campaign."
Police are on the trail of the porn filmmakers since last month when some women rebel cadres fled their camps and surrendered before authorities, alleging sexual abuse by their male leaders.
Reports also said the films were dubbed in several languages like Thai, Japanese and Burmese to woo viewers in adjoining countries.
