However, in recent decades, a more sinister underbelly has come to dominate its reputation. The fair’s transformation can be traced to a "notorious incident of a nude cabaret dance in the 1980s, which left an indelible mark on the fair's identity." Since then, the theater district has become central, drawing huge crowds not with traditional culture, but with "objectionable dance shows, vulgarity and semi-nude dancers."
For the girls performing, the lines between dance, abuse, and exploitation are tragically blurred. Undercover operations, such as Bhaskar's investigative 'Operation Sonepur', have exposed the truth. Agents have been caught on camera actively negotiating deals for girls with visitors. The agents explain the system, offering girls for a fixed price—₹2,500 for a meeting or ₹5,000 for a dancer for the entire night.
The Sonpur Mela (Harihar Kshetra Mela) , held annually at the confluence of the Ganges and Gandak rivers in Bihar, is globally renowned as one of Asia's largest cattle fairs. Steeped in deep cultural and mythological history, the fair has traditionally been a hub for trade, spirituality, and rural entertainment.
In a significant move, authorities rescued five girls, including minors from Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Nepal, from forced exploitation at the theatres.
