PUNE: The social security cell of the Pimpri Chinchwad police on Wednesday busted an alleged sex racket being run at an apartment in Pimple Gurav.
The police have detained four Ugandan national women and sent them to a rescue home. The team from the social security cell, led by assistant inspector Ashok Dongre, also arrested a 22-year-old man for running the sex racket.
After getting a tip-off about the racket, the police sent a decoy customer to the flat. “Once we got a confirmation from the decoy, our team raided the flat,” Dongre said.
“Two of the women had come to India around six months ago while two women have been here for the past year. They had come to the country on medical and tourist visas,” Dongre said.
Last month, a woman from Uganda had filed an FIR with the Sangvi police station against a Ugandan national for forcing her into prostitution under the pretext of helping her get a job at a call centre in India.
