Police bust sex racket in Rishikesh

Friday, 10 January 2020 | PNS | Rishikesh

The police busted a sex racket in the Gumaniwala area of Rishikesh. Police have apprehended a total of six persons including three women and also recovered Rs 78,000 cash, six mobile phones and some objectionable material from them.

According to the information received from official sources, the Rishikesh Kotwali senior sub inspector Omkant Bhushan received a tip off from an informant about prostitution being facilitated at a location in the Gumaniwala area. 

Acting on the tip off, the anti-human trafficking cell and the Kotwali police went towards the location. At that time the police signaled the driver of a car to halt but on seeing the police, the driver tried to escape. However, the vehicle was stopped by the police and the driver and a woman were found inside it.

During questioning, the driver identified himself as Narayan Pal from Chinyalisaur in Uttarkashi. At first he was refraining from giving full details but on being questioned sternly by the police, he confessed to running a sex racket in a rented room at Gumaniwala. He further said that when caught by the police, he was on his way to drop the woman accompanying him to a ‘client’. He further informed that there were two men and two women in the room he had rented, adding that his partner Govind is also involved in this racket.  Police raided the room and caught two women and two men in an objectionable position.
