Police have arrested three persons, including a woman, for allegedly running a flesh trade racket here in Maharashtra, officials said on Wednesday. Two women, who were being forced into prostitution, were also rescued, they said. Acting on a tip-off, officials of the anti-human trafficking cell sent a decoy customer to the accused on Monday.


The accused woman called the customer near a hotel in Sasupada village on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad highway where her two associates also arrived with two women, a police release said. The police then nabbed the three accused and rescued the two women brought there for flesh trade, it said.
