Sex racket involving Bollywood actresses, models busted

An International internet sex racket, involving 'professional' Bollywood actresses and models, was busted here today.

Speaking to newsmen, Nagpur District (Rural) Superintendent of Police (SP) Yashaswi Yadav said three girls, in their twenties, were arrested, while entertaining a dummy client from a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city this afternoon.

One of the girls had done five movies, while another girl had appeared in several advertisements and even done modelling for a Mumbai-based tabloid, he said.

The third girl had also done modelling and starred in two movies, the SP said.

Police received confidential information that a sex racket was operating through two websites, named www.hotpari.com and www.damesndesires.com. The sites were being allegedly operated by persons, identified as Nick alias Niraj and Rajiv, both residents of Lokhandwala in Mumbai, he said.

On the basis of the information, police got a dummy client to call up Nick and asked for girls, Mr Yadav said. During the conversation, Nick claimed he could provide 'high-class' actresses and models and even foreigners, including Russian and Swedish girls, for a high price, he said.

Nick agreed and sent the three girls to Nagpur, whom the dummy client received at the airport, he said adding the girls were supposed to charge Rs four lakhs for a night.

On receiving the girls at the airport, the dummy client took them to the designated farmhouse, where a trap had been laid and paid them Rs 75,000 as advance, the SP said. After receiving the money, the girls started to give sexual favours to the dummy client, he said.

At a signal from the dummy client, police raided the farmhouse and arrested the girls, Mr Yadav said.

The police have registered an offence under various sections of the Information Technology (IT) Act and Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act, he added.
