PUNE:
A
26-year-old woman from West Bengal helped the city police rescue four
persons, including a minor, forced into prostitution after escaping from a
brothel in Budhwar Peth. The police have taken the brothel-keeper and his
wife into custody.
Sanjay Patil, senior inspector of the social
security cell of the Pune crime branch, said a person had brought the Bengali
woman to Pune on July 16 promising her a job. But he sold her to a brothel
owner in Budhwar Peth. "The woman tried to escape from the brothel, but
her attempts failed," Patil said.
The woman then managed to contact her parents in
West Bengal, who lodged a complaint with the police. “A West Bengal-based
non-governmental organization contacted Shyam Kamble, a social worker in
Pune, and gave him the details about the woman," Patil said.
With the help of Kamble, the woman managed to escape
from the brothel and took shelter in a hospital. "On Friday, the woman met
the Pune police commissioner, Rashmi Shukla, and narrated the incident,"
Patil further elaborated.
Based on the information given by the woman, a team
of social security cell raided the brothel and rescued four women, including a
minor. "We suspect the minor is from Bangladesh," Patil said.
