Sonu Punjaban (Geeta Arora) Biography

Geeta Arora, widely known as Sonu Punjaban, is an Indian woman from Delhi whose life has been marked by long-running criminal allegations and convictions.

Early life and background
Geeta Arora was born in Delhi in 1981 and is commonly known by the alias Sonu Punjaban. She grew up in the city and is identified as a follower of Sikhism. Her father, Om Prakash Arora, is described as a Pakistani refugee who worked as an auto driver. Details about her mother and siblings are not provided in the available records. She received education up to the seventh standard.

Career
Public accounts describe Geeta Arora’s profession in terms used by authorities and media reporting. Over several years she became a prominent and controversial figure in criminal cases linked to organized prostitution. Reports indicate she established and ran brothels, training women in conversational English and etiquette for clients, and operated in multiple locations across Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. She is reported to have opened a brothel in the Paryavaran Complex at Saket and later owned a flat in South Delhi’s Saidullazab area.

Her rise in the local underground network has been tied to the arrest of rival operators in 2009, after which she is reported to have increased her influence. Accounts also indicate involvement with known criminals: her husband, Vijay Singh, is described as having been killed in an encounter while she was pregnant, and she later had a relationship with a man named Deepak, who was also later killed in an encounter. She has a son, Paras, who is reported to live with his maternal grandmother.

Legal troubles and convictions
Geeta Arora’s public profile is dominated by multiple arrests and serious criminal charges spanning more than a decade. Arrests recorded in public reporting include detentions under provisions of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act in 2007 and 2008, and further police action in 2011 that included additional charges. In December 2017 she was booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, and other cases have linked her to a murder investigation in Haryana’s Jhajjar district.

A significant conviction came in July 2020 when a Delhi court sentenced her to a total of 24 years’ imprisonment. The judgment combined multiple substantive terms: 14 years’ rigorous imprisonment under sections of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, followed by 10 years for offences under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including procuration and sale of a minor for prostitution, among other charges. The sentence followed allegations that included the trafficking and exploitation of a child who had been trafficked at age 12.

Public profile
Media and public reporting have associated Geeta Arora with a string of contentious allegations, including the sale and exploitation of minors and violent mistreatment of trafficked victims. One trafficking victim who had been kidnapped at age 12 is reported to have filed a complaint and later assisted police; that victim’s statements featured prominently in the later case brought against Geeta Arora.

Her story has also entered popular culture: the character Bholi Punjaban in the films Fukrey and Fukrey Returns is reported to have been inspired by her notoriety.

Personal life
Geeta Arora’s marital status is identified as widow. She is reported to have used the nickname Sonu Punjaban and is said to have smoked and consumed alcohol. Public details list a single child, a son named Paras. Her reported place of residence prior to her legal troubles was a flat in Saidullazab, South Delhi.

Latest updates
As of July 2020, Geeta Arora was sentenced by a Delhi court to a combined term of 24 years’ imprisonment for offences related to trafficking and exploitation. This conviction and the longer history of related cases form the most recent major developments available in the compiled record.
