The main accused in the Charkop case Yasmeen Khan aka Yasmeen Dipankar Khasnavis is also wanted in another case registered by the Vasai-Virar police and was even arrested by the Jharkhand police last  year in a similar matter.

The porn racket was operated from a 11th-floor flat of a high-rise apartment at Bhabrekar Nagar in Malad West, while the main accused lived in a flat at Jankalyan Nagar, near Malad.
