Interpol also wants this brothel owner

Senior Inspector Rafiq Sheikh confirmed to The Indian Express that Tamang was wanted by the Interpol and the Napalese police. "We are informing the concerned authorities about the arrest," Sheikh said.

According to sources, Tamang is wanted in three cases related to trafficking of girls from Nepal. She is also named in similar offences at Pune and Surat in Gujarat, sources added.

Not surprisingly, the Napalese police had sought the help of Interpol to arrest and escort her to face prosecution in the Himalayan kingdom.

Native of Dharan district in Nepal, Ganga married Uttam Tamang before the duo were involved in trafficking around 20 girls from the Himalayan kingdom. She later joined hands with other pimps like Krishna Pariyar, Vishnu Pariyar, Kumar and Raj and was allegedly involved in forcing 25 other girls into the immoral business, sources added.

Investigations have revealed that Ganga Tamang was running a prostitution racket from 98A and Bungalow No 9 on 13th Kamathipura Lane. She is also believed to own another brothel at Bungalow No 95 on Shuklaji Street in Central Mumbai.

Mother of two daughter, Tamang is believed to be living on the income of 30-odd girls, many of whom are minors. Her children are studying in the city.

Meanwhile, the Nagpada police on Saturday claimed that they have rescued 40 girls, including eight minors, from the brothels in the last 10 days. Five gharwalis

have been arrested in connection with trafficking in minor girls.
