The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Wednesday claimed to have busted a prostitution racket being run from a hotel in Paharganj and rescued four girls, a claim denied by the police.
The women’s panel claimed that the agent of the girls was arrested, even as the police said no case was registered in the matter and nobody was arrested.
In an operation on Tuesday, the DCW, on the inputs from NGO Mission Rescue Operation, busted the racket, the women’s panel claimed.
DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal and member Kiran Negi received a tip-off from the NGO that an agent in Central Delhi is supplying minor girls for prostitution, they said. A team of DCW counsellors, together with the Delhi Police, reached the said hotel in Paharganj and forced their way into the rooms. Four minors were rescued and sent to a shelter home, the commission said.
