In a major crackdown, the City Crime Branch carried out a raid on a lodge in Doddaballapur following credible information about illegal activities being conducted on the premises. The operation led to the exposure of a suspected human trafficking network involved in running a prostitution racket.
According to police sources, the lodge was allegedly being used as a hub for illegal activities, where individuals were trafficked and forced into prostitution. Acting on a tip-off, the CCB team conducted a surprise raid and rescued several women from the location. Authorities also detained multiple suspects believed to be involved in organizing and facilitating the operation.
Officials stated that preliminary investigations suggest the accused had been running the racket for some time, luring victims with false promises and exploiting them. The rescued individuals have been shifted to safe facilities, where they are being provided necessary support and counseling.
During the raid, police reportedly seized several items related to the illegal activities, including records and other materials that could serve as evidence in the case. A detailed investigation is underway to identify the main accused and any larger network linked to the operation.
Police officials emphasized that strict action will be taken against those involved in human trafficking and exploitation. They also urged the public to report any suspicious activities in their surroundings to help curb such crimes.
The incident has raised serious concerns about illegal operations in lodges and the need for stricter monitoring by authorities to prevent such offenses.
