Location: Mumbai, India<\/span><\/p>\n

Five women including a minor were rescued by the Malwani police on last Thursday. Police have also arrested a 35-year-old woman who was running the sex racket in a residential area.<\/p>\n

A team constituted under the supervision of Senior Police Inspector, Jagdeo Kalapad following a tip-off rescued the victims in a joint raid with the International Justice Mission (IJM), an anti-trafficking non-profit organization.<\/p>\n

The probe revealed the victims were locked inside the house by the accused who is said to have been initially renting her premises to a pimp for his customers. Eventually, she saw the value in interacting with the customers directly and began soliciting numerous young women for the purpose of prostitution.<\/p>\n

Explaining the modus operandi, police said that the accused used WhatsApp as a medium to show pictures of girls to clients. Based on their selection she would call the girls and her clients to her home. The racket came to light after a tip-off was received to IJM who in turn informed the police.<\/p>\n

Melissa Walavalkar, Director of operations, IJM said, “The improvement in the efficiency of law enforcement over the years, especially to protect minors, has brought about a change in the way sex traffickers operate. From demarcated red-light areas, brothels, or lodges, girls are now being provided to clients for sexual engagements in private residences.”<\/p>\n

She added, “The efficiency of Senior PI Kalapad and his team represent the proactiveness and skill of our police force in combating commercial sexual exploitation of minors.”<\/p>\n
