Six young women were rescued by the Pune police after a raid on a massage parlour in the Vimannagar area, which was found to be operating as a front for prostitution.
The Social Security cell of the Crime Branch received a tip-off about the illicit activities at the Amaira Spa, following which the police detained four people, including the manager of the massage centre, Manikant Rahul Nayadu (20, Theragaon, Pimpri-Chinchwad). The names of the others are Vishal Agrawal, Nayadu Bai, and Nitin Mane.
Nayadu was arrested and a complaint was filed with the Vimantal Police Station by Police Naik Imran Nadaf.
The police, who used undercover customers to investigate, also seized a mobile phone from the message centre which contained evidence of a scam worth Rs. 1,28,500. The action comes a day after, Pune's Crime Branch successfully busted a prostitution racket operating in a well-known five-star hotel near Pune station.
