Hyderabad: A High Court advocate who was seeking pleasure at an illegal cross gender massage parlour was arrested along with the organiser, receptionist and a customer in a raid conducted by the Central Zone Task Force team and Narayanguda police on Sunday.

The teams conducted a raid at Splash Beauty Salon and Spa in Narayanguda. The organiser, Garika Santosh, 23, and the receptionist were arranging cross massages for customers, including the High Court advocate, Gopinath Lakineni, police said. Three women were rescued from the men and six cell phones and cash worth Rs 11,400 was seized from the organiser.

“Radha Reddy started the place in 2015, by paying a rent of Rs 40,000 per month. She already has three criminal cases registered against her. For the last six months her son-in-law, Santhosh took over the business as he could not crack the UPSC selections due to a pending criminal case,” said the DCP, Commissioner’s Task Force, P. Radha Krishna Rao. The accused were handed over to the Narayanaguda police.
