Hyderabad: The Malkajgiri Special Operations Team nabbed five sex business organisers under Pita (Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act) and rescued three victims.

The gang was organising brothels online. The police seized Rs 5,960, a bike, a Bangladesh passport, fake Aadhaar and election cards and seven phones from them. The suspects are Kammara Ramalinga, 50, the main organiser who is absconding, Akthar Shabana, 24, Kammara Madhu, 23, Pothuluri Ramesh, 27, and Bomma Munni, 27.

“The main organiser, Ramalinga, belongs to Kurnool district and is staying at Kukatpally. He has contacts with sex business organisers in other states and procures girls. Ramalinga employed Ramesh and Munni, who transport the girls to the customer’s place, collects money and gives it to him. The woman organiser, Akthar Shabana, a Bangladesh national, came to India and is staying at Bhopal. She told the police that she regularly comes to India to organise brothels.
