Marathi Lead Actress Rescued, Pimp Arrested As Prostitution Racket Busted In Mumbai Hotel

Mumbai: Two actresses were rescued by the Mumbai Police after they busted a prostitution racket allegedly operating at a hotel in Girgaon. A pimp, who allegedly worked as a make-up artist, was apprehended red-handed during the operation.

The arrested pimp is said to have links with several celebrities.

As per reports, one of the actresses who were rescued is a lead actress of Marathi films, while the other is a cameo actress in Bengali and Bollywood movies.

Further investigations into the matter are underway.

This comes just days after a female advocate was arrested for allegedly operating a prostitution racket at a hotel in Kalyan, Thane, following a tip-off. Further, two women who were being forced into prostitution were rescued.

The advocate had allegedly been running the prostitution racket for nearly three months, exploiting women who were financially vulnerable.

The racket was busted by the Anti-Human Trafficking Cell (AHTC), with police personnel visiting the hotel in civilian clothes to avoid attracting premature attention. Officials posing as customers were deployed to conduct a thorough raid of the hotel. 

The operation led to the successful arrest of the accused. A case was filed under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act.
