Gujarat Police Raid Four Spas, Arrest Nine in Prostitution Crackdown
Police in Ahmedabad, a city in India, discovered that some massage spas were secretly doing bad things that are against the law.
Spas are places where people go to relax and get massages.
The police believe these spas were secretly being used as places for illegal activities.
Police officers raided four of these spas at once.
During the raids, they arrested nine people who worked there or were visiting.
They are also looking for ten more people whom they could not catch right away.
The police took money, phones, laptops, and other items as evidence.
All of this property was worth around five lakh rupees, which is a very large amount of money.
The people arrested will now have to face court for breaking the law.
Gujarat Police's State Monitoring Cell raided four spas on Ahmedabad's S.G. Highway and nearby areas, arresting nine people and naming 10 others as wanted.
