Two women from Uzbekistan were arrested from posh Greater Kailash (GK) area for allegedly running flesh trade racket and forcing two of their relatives into prostitution racket. Initial investigation revealed that the accused came to India on a business visa and they were running their dance group from a house in D Block, Kailash Colony in GK-I. Around six months ago, they called their relatives to join their dance troupe and later forced them into flesh trade. The victims reached India via Nepal and one of the accused was not carrying her visa.
Police said that the accused have been identified as Sheanaj (27), Nazakat (25). “The incident came to light on Thursday afternoon when two victims approached police and informed them that two of their relatives confined them and later forced them into prostitution,” a senior police officer said.
The victims, in their statement, told police that around two months ago, the accused approached their parents and asked them to send their daughters to join their dance company.
“They claimed them that they were running dance group in India and offered them a salary of around Rs10,000 per month. The victim’s parents accepted their proposal and sent their daughters to India,” the
officer added.
However, the victims found out the truth after arriving in India and when they objected, the accused women along with their associates also thrashed them. “They were confined and starved for several days at their residence in D Block, Kailash Colony. later the victims caved in and started soliciting clients. Several times, they narrated their ordeal to their customers but instead of helping them, they had also informed the accused persons who in turn thrashed them,” a police officer said, adding that on Thursday evening, they managed to escape from their clutches when the accused persons asked them go to a client’s residence and they instead approached police.
