2 women rescued from GB Road brothel, 3 held for forcing in prostitution: Cop
Police said that another 28-year-old woman also approached the police post and was rescued from the brothel
On August 26, a 60-year-old woman approached the Women police post at Kamla Market in Delhi, reporting that her 26-year-old daughter was missing since May 2. She alleged that her daughter had been trafficked from West Bengal to Delhi and forced into prostitution at a brothel on GB Road. Police launched a rescue operation that same day, leading to the arrest of three women - Geeta, Manju, and Paro Khatoon - who are suspected to be part of a syndicate involved in human trafficking.
The rescued women told police that they were lured with false promises of employment and forced into prostitution at the brothel. One of the rescued women had her eight-year-old son taken by Geeta and kept in a hostel, threatening to kill him if she refused to engage in prostitution. The money earned by the women was allegedly retained by Geeta and Manju.
Police recovered ₹55,000 cash and other incriminating evidence from the brothel. Two separate cases were registered for the victims.
