Officials on the Central Crime Branch (CCB) on Thursday busted an inter-state prostitution racket and arrested nine people operating the ring, and rescued 26 women from them.
S. D. Sharanappa, Joint Commissioner of Police (CCB), said that the accused used to lure women from other States promising decent jobs and would bring them to the city, and then forced them into prostitution.
The accused would house the victims in private apartments and paying guest accommodations, contact the clients over social media, use WhatsApp to send pictures, and would receive money online, before dropping the victims at their location and picking them up .
