Two illegal brothel rings dismantled in Hyderabad, 18 detained, including Bangladesh nationals
Hyderabad police conducted raids on two illegal brothel houses in Chaderghat and Khairatabad, arresting 18 individuals, including two minors. The operation revealed a trafficking ring that exploited women from Bangladesh. The suspects, mostly Bangladeshi and West Bengali nationals, were part of a network that lured women from Bangladesh under false pretenses of employment, then forced them into prostitution. The investigation found that brokers in West Bengal charged fees to facilitate the women's illegal migration to India, provided fake IDs, and exploited their vulnerabilities. The police rescued two minors from the brothels and arrested the individuals involved, who have criminal records in previous cases. The investigation is ongoing.09:43 AM Feb 27, 2025 IST
