(Source: File Representational Photo)A prostitution racket was busted in Gurgaon following a crackdown on two spa centres in Manesar on Tuesday with the help of decoy customers, police said. The spa centres were running from Manesar.
Acting on a tip-off, a special police team, led by Inspector Satender Singh of the Manesar Police Station, conducted a raid and arrested three persons in connection with the illegal operation. The operation was supervised by Assistant Commissioner of Police (Headquarters and Crimes against Women) Susheela, under the direction of Deputy Commissioner of Police (Manesar) Deepak Kumar, a police spokesperson said.
Officers said that decoy customers were sent to the two spas, where they confirmed the facilitation of prostitution after fixing rates with the spa managers. The decoy customers alerted the police team, which swiftly moved in and apprehended three suspects, they said.
During questioning, the accused admitted to running the illegal operation in exchange for money.
A case was registered under relevant sections of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act at the Manesar Police Station.
“They were produced in court today and remanded to two weeks of judicial custody. The investigation is on, with further action being taken as per law,” Inspector Satender Singh told The Indian Express on Wednesday.
Police in the city have busted similar rackets in the past. In January 2023, 11 people were arrested, including owners and managers of two spa centres in Gurgaon, for allegedly running a similar operation in the garb of a massage parlour.
Last May, the Gurgaon Police had arrested 10 people, including foreign women, from a hotel in Sector 57. Among the six women arrested, two each were from Bangladesh and Uzbekistan, and admitted to having engaged in prostitution.
