AHTU Busts Two Flesh Trade Rackets in Beed
The police in Beed, India, found two places where people were being forced to sell sex.
They used a trick: a fake customer paid money and the police followed the plan.
On the same night, they caught the people running the places and saved six women who were being forced to work.
They also took money, cars, phones, and other things worth about 5.21 lakh rupees.
The police are now charging five people with breaking the law that stops prostitution.
AHTU raided two flesh‑trade rackets in Beed on a single night.
Six women were rescued and five people were booked under the Immoral Traffic Act.
Police seized ₹5.21 lakh in cash, vehicles, phones, and condoms.
The operation followed a tip received on July 29 and involved a decoy customer.
The raid was led by Inspector Ashok Mudiraj under guidance of senior police officers.
