MUMBAI: Two minor girls forced into prostitution were rescued by the Nalasopara police. Two pimps including a woman have been arrested.
Acting on a tip-off the police disguised as customers and approached a residential apartment in Nalasopara (west). Ishaque Mola (40) and Seema Shaikh (26) escorted the policemen disguised as customers to a room where two minor girls were waiting. The customers were asked to make their choices before the rates would be worked out.
A police team raided the flat and arrested Mola and Shaikh. The girls, aged 14 and 15, told the police that they were brought from West Bengal to Mumbai by Shaikh who had promised to get them jobs in the city. The girls said that they came from poor families and coming to the city was a dream. The girls were provided with food and clothing but not allowed to venture out or speak to their families and neighbours. The girls said that Shaikh had given few hundred rupees to their families with the assurance that lot of cash would be send to them in the coming months.
While Shaikh's job was to track down young girls and bring them to Nalasopara, Mola, the kingpin used to go around getting clients. The police have not ruled out the possibility of minor girls being the prime target.
