Hyderabad: While the police is struggling to check the flesh trade syndicate in the city and its surroundings, a new challenge has emerged in the form of foreign women.
The police has to control trafficking of women from foreign countries. The Cyberabad police recently rescued 34 women “physios” from Thailand and deported them.
A few days ago, the Rachakonda police rescued two women from Tanzania who were involved in a flesh trade.
“In fact, it is a new trend. Help from the intelligence bureau is sought to prevent illegal activities by foreign nationals after they arrive in the country,” said a senior official from Cyberabad.
Women from Nepal and Bangladesh are brought to the country and forced into prostitution by intermediaries. These women are trafficked via road and sent to various cities in the country.
Last month, the Rachakonda police rescued a Bangladeshi woman following a raid at a house.
The rescued women are shifted to rescue homes and later send back to their country after producing in the court.
Recently, the police found a South African drug trafficking ring engaged in a flesh trade.
"We rescued two Tanzanian women after raiding a place in Sainikpuri. We are still trying to trace the organisers," said an official of the special operations team of Rachakonda.
A few years back, the commissioner's task force busted a flesh trade racket from an apartment at Masab Tank and rescued a woman from Uzbekistan.
The police has also rescued women from Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Haryana, Mumbai, Kolkatta, New Delhi, Bengaluru and Noida.
