Death – Obituary – Accident and Crime News : Pune Police Busts Sex Racket Disguised as Ayurvedic Massage Center
In a major crackdown, the Pune police have successfully dismantled a sex racket that was operating under the guise of an Ayurvedic massage center in the city. One person, identified as Umesh Taral, aged 41, has been arrested in connection with the illicit activities, according to officials.
The Pune City police team, acting on a tip-off, conducted a raid on the massage center located near Khushbu hotel in Balaji Nagar on Tuesday. During the operation, they discovered that several women had been lured into prostitution at the center. This revelation has raised serious concerns about the safety and well-being of vulnerable individuals in society.
Umesh Taral has been booked under Section 370 of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with human trafficking, as well as sections of the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act (PITA). The Sahkarnagar police station has registered a First Information Report (FIR) in relation to this case.
During a court hearing on Wednesday, the assistant public prosecutor, Renuka Deshpande Karjatkar, emphasized the need to interrogate Taral further. The police are keen to determine if he was involved in any “honey trap” incidents and if there are more individuals connected to this heinous crime. Consequently, the judicial magistrate (first class), G R Dornalapalle, granted the police custody of the accused for five days.
The investigation into this case is being led by Police Inspector Sandip Deshmane at the Sahkarnagar police station. The authorities are determined to uncover the full extent of the operation and bring all those involved to justice.
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing battle against human trafficking and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals. The police’s swift action in busting this sex racket demonstrates their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the citizens. It is crucial for society to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities that may be indicative of such illegal operations.
As the investigation progresses, the Pune police will leave no stone unturned in their pursuit of justice. They are determined to dismantle these criminal networks and provide support to the victims who have been subjected to such heinous acts. The incident serves as a strong message that such activities will not be tolerated, and the perpetrators will face severe consequences under the law.
