Hyderabad police have busted an alleged prostitution racket operating from a service apartment in Madhapur and taken three women from Uzbekistan into custody. The main organiser, identified as Naik from Delhi, is reportedly absconding.
Acting on specific information, Madhapur police and Special Operations Team (SOT) personnel conducted a joint raid at a service apartment in Chandra Nayak Thanda. Three Uzbek women were found in Room No. 204.
According to police, the women allegedly entered India through Nepal before travelling to Delhi and Hyderabad. Investigators found that they did not possess valid passports or visas at the time of the raid.
Police suspect that Naik brought the women to Hyderabad and operated the alleged prostitution racket from the apartment. A case has been registered, and efforts are underway to trace him.
Officials said the three women would be produced before the court, with further action concerning their immigration status and possible deportation to be taken through legal procedures.
Police also warned service apartment operators to verify guests’ identity documents and maintain proper records to prevent the misuse of their premises.
The investigation is continuing to establish the full circumstances of the alleged operation, including whether the women were subjected to trafficking or exploitation.
