New Delhi: In a major breakthrough, police busted an international prostitution racket and arrested six people, including three women from Uzbekistan from an OYO hotel in east Delhi’s Pandav Nagar early this week, police said.
After receiving information about a flesh trade racket being run at a hotel in Shashi Garden, police on Tuesday carried out a raid at the hotel and arrested the accused.
“A decoy customer was sent to the hotel and subsequently, a raid was conducted at the hotel. Three Uzbek women along with two agents, Praveen Kumar and Ketan Kansal, were found present in the room of the second floor at the hotel,” a police officer was quoted.
Police have registered a case and are further investigating the matter.
In another case, the Special Cell of Delhi Police arrested four persons for allegedly smuggling drugs. During the raid, the police seized 12 kg of heroin worth Rs 50 crore in the international market. After receiving specific inputs about the movement of a truck at Rajapuri – that was allegedly ferrying drug consignment – the cops laid a trap and two suspects were nabbed. The duo was allegedly carrying around 10 kg of heroin. Subsequently, following another tip-off, two more suspects were caught in north Delhi.
According to police, the drug traffickers had created a hidden cavity under the footrest of their truck. This is where they hide the packets of the drugs, said the police adding that apart from drugs, the truck, which they used to ferry the drugs, and several mobile handsets used by the accused have also been seized. The accused have been identified as Mohammad Abdur Razzak and Mohammad Idrish Ali of Manipur.
