Masthan said that Ashabi's sister lives in the Gulf city and helps her run the racket.
Masthan also provided information about some girls who had returned from the Gulf nation.
During the probe, it was revealed that Ashabi had sent several girls from nearby villages to Dubai.
One of the girls told police that after reaching Dubai in search of a better future, she stayed with Ashabi's sister Ashiqui. She alleged that Ashiqui runs a brothel in the city. The girl said that Ashiqui offered her a lucrative salary if she followed her instructions.
The girl stayed there for seven months but never received the promised money. Feeling cheated and dejected, she returned to her village.
