BHOPAL: A surprise police raid at two spa centres in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, revealed sex rackets that were pushing young girls from Delhi and from districts in the Gwalior–Chambal region into prostitution.
The raid, led by additional SP (ASP) Vidita Dagar, was carried out on Sunday at two spa centres located in the upmarket City Centre area of Gwalior. The operation resulted in the busting of the rackets.
“Total seven young girls were found at the two Spa Centres. The girls were found in objectionable situations with men hailing from Gwalior only. Objectionable material too was seized from both the Spa Centres,” Dagar told TNIE on Monday.
According to the police, the preliminary investigation revealed that some of the girls hailed from Delhi, while others were from Bhind district in Madhya Pradesh’s Gwalior–Chambal region.
Four to five men, including those found with the girls in objectionable positions and the operators of the two centres, have been detained for questioning.
“There have been specific intelligence inputs with us about some Spa Centres in the city, indulging in immoral business, after which the surprise inspection was carried out by the police at the two Spa Centres in Tulsi Vihar Colony on Sunday,” Dagar added.
“We’re now working at how the girls from Delhi and Bhind were brought here and pushed into the immoral activities at the two Spa Centres,” she informed.
