Bollywood has often been linked to prostitution and sex rackets and one such thing was busted recently when Bollywood Choreographer Agnes Hamilton who has worked in films like Tubelight among others has been arrested by Mumbai crime branch for running Bollywood prostitution racket.
Apparently, Hamilton, who also has her dance class, reportedly sent female dancers abroad in the pretext of dance assignments. She then threatened and forced them into the sex trade. The case came into the limelight only after the Kenyan Government deported a woman back to India who was sent by Agnes in the pretext of an assignment. .
Ajay Sawant, the senior inspector of the anti-extortion cell, was quoted by the daily saying, “The woman said Hamilton told her she would get good work in a Kenyan hotel. After reaching Kenya, though, one Razia Patel took her to Nairobi and forced her into prostitution. ”
City crime branch anti-extortion cell on Thursday arrested Agnes who also stated that how touts and fraudulent acting and dance classes indulge in prostitution rackets. Dilip Sawant, deputy commissioner of police (crime) said, “The woman was found and she narrated her ordeal to them. They then recovered her passport from the accused and deported her to India.” Agnes also reportedly threatened to frame her in the fake narcotics offence case and take away her passport on denying what she is told to do by her.
Police said Hamilton would get Rs 40,000 from her Kenyan counterpart for every woman she sent to Kenya, Bahrain or Dubai.
