In a development in the case of the Uzbekistan woman, who was found lying on a footpath at Kharavel Nagar in an inebriated state on July 24, the Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate (SDJM) Court here granted bail to her on Tuesday.
The woman was granted bail against a personal bail bond of Rs 30,000. Presently, after being arrested by police, she is lodged at the Jharpada Special Jail. She is suspected to be an Uzbekistan national and is part of a sex racket, which has New Delhi links.
Though an Aadhaar card found from her has the address of lajpat Nagar in New Delhi, due to her features, the cops had doubts about her identity. The police have sought the help of the Uzbekistan Embassy to ascertain her real identity.
The caretaker of a house at Patia here where the woman was staying has been arrested on the charge of running a sex racket and the owner of the house has been issued notice by police to appear before them.
