Bengaluru police conducted a successful operation against a prostitution racket, arresting four women and rescuing four other women who had been coerced into the trade. The arrests were made by the Central Crime Branch's Women Protection Squad after gathering intelligence over several days. The police identified three locations used for the illicit activities: in Manuvana under Vijayanagar, near Karumariyamma Temple in Banaswadi, and on Andrahalli Main Road in Veerabhadreshwara Nagar under Byadarahalli limits. The accused women reportedly lured victims with false job offers, confining them in accommodations and coercing them into prostitution. They communicated with clients primarily via phone, often changing locations every few months to evade law enforcement. Cases have been registered at multiple police stations in Bengaluru, and the arrested individuals have been remanded in judicial custody as investigations continue, with the possibility of further arrests.
