Saturday March 3 2007 12:46 IST
HYDERABAD: A 30-minute late-night operation followed by a raid at dawn helped the sleuths of the Crime Investigation Department (CID) bust a sex racket at Krishna Nagar in Banjara Hills on Friday. A 24-year-old ‘mistress’ was arrested and half-a-dozen sex workers were rescued.Six mobile phones and two motorcycles were seized from the premises.Five persons found negotiating with the mistress also landed behind the bars.The raid is part of efforts to bust women trafficking network in the State.Days after receiving a tip-off, the well-planned decoy operation began on Thursday night. A CID constable posing as a businessman walked into the ‘den’ and negotiated with Udaya alias Uddi for two girls. She demanded Rs 4,000 (Rs 2,000 for each girl). The constable paid an advance of Rs 1,000 and left asking Udaya to arrange the girls the next day.On Friday morning, minutes after the constable entered the den, a team of CID personnel descended on it and took into custody all those present there.‘‘Udaya hails from Tirupati and has been in the trade for the last six years. She brought the girls, aged around 24, from Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam and Tirupati,’’ SP (CID) Mahesh Bhagwat told this website's newspaper.Surprisingly, Udaya, who had taken the house on rent, had been running the trade for all these six years at the same premises without attracting the attention of the local police.The five arrested customers are: V Raja, M Srisailam, G Krishna, G Ramesh and P Srinivas. A case under Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act (PITA) was registered against them.They were handed over to the Banjara Hills police for further investigation. The rescued sex workers are being shifted to a rehabilitation centre. A few days ago, the CID had raided a brothel in Jeedimetla and rescued four sex workers.The drive against human trafficking would continue, Mahesh Bhagwat said.
