Owners of 5 spas booked for flesh trade in Zirakpur

The police booked the owners of five spa centres engaged in flesh trade under the guise of massage parlours at Chandigarh City Center (CCC) in Zirakpur. This is the third time in two years that a flesh trade racket, running under the garb of spa and massage centres, has been busted here.

A case has been registered against the owner of Nature Touch Spa Centre, Buddha Thai Spa, Maria Spa, Orchid Spa and Infinity Spa Center and a search for their owners has begun.

After the police action, all other spa centres in the city shut shop and fled,” said Zirakpur SHO Jaskanwal Singh Shekhon.

The development has come a year after nine spa owners were booked for immoral trafficking and 12 outlets sealed at the same location on February 3, 2023. Nine persons were arrested and 28 suspicious persons, including 21 women were detained then. In August 2022, seven spa and massage parlours’ owners were booked on the VIP Road. According to conservative estimates, there are more than a 100 spa and massage centres functional in Zirakpur.
