NEW DELHI: A day after a prostitution ring involving foreign nationals was busted in the city, the police claimed to have busted another racket. A house in H block, Sector 16, Rohini, was raided and seven people were arrested, cops said. The arrests include five women sex workers and two pimps: the latter had been arrested in 2010 for the same offence. "We will press stricter charges as the two are repeat offenders," said DCP (outer) Bholenath Jaiswal.

The K N Katju Marg police station received information on Tuesday about the gang. A constable was sent as a decoy customer to negotiate a deal. Once it was struck, cops on standby raided the house and arrested the pimps, later identified as Premlata and Shanti Devi

The duo had brought in the five women aged between 19 and 24 years to the house of Premlata. The women were taken on contracts and paid Rs 50,000 per month , cops said. A case has been registered at the K N Katju Marg police station .
