A 26-year-old dancer-cum-massage therapist would not have had to run naked on the streets of uptown Banjara Hills in the wee hours of Friday had the Jubilee Hills police taken strict action against her co-workers for assaulting her, instead of ‘settling’ the issue.
When passers-by noticed a young woman with severe injuries running naked on Road No 12 of Banjara Hills, they immediately called the police and shifted her to a nearby hospital for immediate medical assistance. Her rescue led to the busting of a high-end prostitution racket running in the heart of the city. The racket, organised by one Sanjana, had several models and a long list of customers, mostly techies and businessmen.
In her complaint to the Banjara Hills police, the victim, a native of Kolkata, stated that she came to Hyderabad from Delhi on May 9 at the request of Sanjana. “Three days later, on May 12, myself and two others – Komati and Sunitha – went to an apartment of a techie at Jubilee Hills after they contacted Sanjana. “
