MARGAO
The Margao police have busted a sex racket in the city with the arrest of a woman Simran Khatoum as the men-in-uniform rescued two girls from North India from the flesh trade.
Margao Police Station in-charge, PI C L Patil informed that the police acted on a tip off that two girls were loitering at the Old station road, apparently to solicit customers. After being picked up by the police and their interrogation at the police station, the two girls, one from Bihar and another from West Bengal, spilled the beans by saying that they have been brought to Goa for flesh trade.
PI Patil said after interrogating the victims, a police team was sent to Ponda, wherein Simran was picked up and brought to Margao and later arrested. He informed that the modus operandi adopted by the accused woman was simple that while she was at Ponda, she used to send prospective customers to the station road, where they would pick up the girls.
