Dehradun police arrested a hotel owner from Rajpur Road allegedly involved in prostitution from his hotel, located at Tyagi Road on Tuesday. The accused has been identified as Aman Vihar (Patelnagar) resident Rashid, who has been booked under sections 3/5/7 of Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act, said Dalanwala Police Station in-charge CS Bisht. Bisht said that Rashid’s female friend was recently arrested under Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act and jailed after being caught running a sex racket in the hotel. In the same case, police exposed a sex racket recently and arrested six persons including three women for their involvement in prostitution from two separate hotels in the state capital.
Moreover, hotel owner association members met the Dehradun senior superintendent of police and enquired about how they can keep record of customers who hire rooms in their hotel.
Following this, Khurana directed them to ensure that that all the customers are made to fill up form C stating all their reverent information and CCTV camera installed in the hotel should be focused at the reception.
Bisht said that police received a tip off about accused’s movement around Rajpur Road area and acting on this, the accused was arrested. He was presented before the court from where he was sent to jail. Police will soon be able to expose another sex racket in coming days, he added.
