PANAJI: In a late night operation, Calangute police station inspector Nolasco Raposo arrested two pimps and rescued a girl who had been forced into the sex trade at 2.10am on Thursday.
Raposo informed TOI that they had received reliable intelligence from their sources that a car would be coming to the circle in front of the Calangute church to "deliver" a girl to a customer. Accordingly, the police laid a trap and nabbed the two pimps along with the girl when they arrived at the spot in a car.
Those arrested were identified as Mohammad Aqueel from Sahanjanabad village, near Bhopal-MP and Samir Khan from Bhopal. They were arrested under Sections 2, 5, and 7 of the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act. The rescued 25-year-old victim has been sent to Apna Ghar for rehabilitation.
The arrests come close on the heels of the recent attempts by Calangute MLA Michael Lobo to curb incidents of alleged prostitution in his constituency.Link: Girl rescued, 2 pimps held in Calangute
