While the police described it as a high-profile prostitution racket, the
identity of the man who ran it is not known at all. This is perhaps for the
first time that the cops have come across a case in which even the women and
pimp are unaware of their boss.
There was no permanent base. Advertisements were carried out in newspapers for
massage and the women delivered in hotels. While one of the Indian girls is
from Amritsar, the other one belongs to Kolkata.
They later told the police that they were interviewed by a middle-aged man just
before joining the racket and that they never got to see the man again.
This was even as the women paid 40% of the amount they earned from each
customer to the kingpin, who is said to have a bevy of foreign women working
for him.
The police used a decoy to strike a deal with the pimp. Yadav asked the decoy
to come to a five-star hotel in New Delhi. He was waiting in the vehicle with
the girls outside the hotel when all of them were nabbed by the police team led
by ACP Kumar Gyanesh.
That, however, was not all on Sunday. In another raid, the crime branch
arrested the owner of a massage parlour in Rani Bagh for running a prostitution
racket. Three women, all around 20 years old, were also arrested from the
parlour.
The women belong to poor families. They later told the cops that a major chunk
of their earnings went to Karim, the owner.
