On the directions of Rourkela SP K Siva Subramani, a special squad along with Sector-15 police station personnel conducted a raid at one of the RSP quarters at C-block of Sector-17 of the steel city at around 2 am.
Following the raid, police arrested two customers along with the queen bee of the prostitution racket while two more girls, said to be residents of West Bengal, were also rescued from the quarters.
Police also seized several objectionable items during the raid.
It is being said that the raid was conducted based on information provided by the locals, who have alleged that sex rackets are in operation in many such quarters in the area, while in this particular quarter sex trade was operational for the past three years. The locals were all praise for the new SP who has swung into action to curb sex and drug rackets operating in the city.
