Based on secret information, a constable was sent as a decoy customer an a Sub-Inspector was deputed as a shadow witness and agents were contacted.
- After finalising the deal, the decoy customer was sent to an address in Malviya Nagar. The agents Arup and Sahni asked the decoy customer to select one from the 10 foreign women in front of him. Accordingly, a raid was conducted at the given address and both agents were nabbed at the spot.
All the foreigners were asked to produce their valid visa and passport for their stay in India, but failed to provide any legal documents.
Upon interrogation, it was revealed that Jumayeva Aziza and her husband Meredob Ahmed were the kingpins of this racket.
