Gurugram, May 8

A joint team of the CM flying squad and the local police busted a prostitution racket, which was being run in a guest house in Sector 57 area, last night.

They arrested 10 persons who were allegedly involved in prostitution. An FIR was registered in this regard at the Sector 56 police station. The arrested accused were produced in a city court today and sent to judicial custody.

Inspector Harish Kumar of the CM flying squad said they had received information about a prostitution racket being run in a guest house in G Block of Sector 57.

Following the tip-off, a special team was formed and a decoy customer was sent into the guest house. He talked to guest house manager Sanjeev and negotiated a deal. When the deal was finalised, the decoy customer entered the guest house and signalled the team, and the police team raided the guest house.

During the raid, six women were found on the spot. The age of all women is said to be between 24 to 34 years. The raiding team arrested 10 accused from the guest house.

Among the arrested accused were guest house operator Dilbag, resident of Narnaul, Sanjay, resident of Behror and managers Sanjeev and Rambabu. The six arrested women included two from Uzbekistan, two from Bangladesh and one each from Assam and Kolkata. When the police team asked them to show necessary documents, they found the visas of the women from Bangladesh had expired.

Inspector Vinod Kumar, SHO of the Sector 56 police station, said, “Last year, a case was registered under the Foreigners Act for illegally hosting foreign nationals in the same guest house.”
