Kingpins of online sex racket nabbed

Vadodara: Masterminds of an online sex racket which was busted last week in the city were arrested by police on Thursday.
The three accused Sandeepkumar alias Paras alias Arya Joshi, Jeevan alias Garry Bul and Dharmesh Patel who were in the city and were active here since long were nabbed. Police said that Joshi and Bul used to collect photos of prostitutes from different agents and sent these to clients. Patel, on the other hand, used to manage the website as well as business on social media and collected money in his bank account.
According to police, the trio’s names were revealed during the interrogation of Arjun alias Rohit Rajput and Bhavanishankar alias Raj Dayma. While Joshi and Bul are natives of Delhi, Patel is from Ahmedabad.
The racket was busted on June 15 when Mitul Tailor, a resident of Sun Pharma Road, had stabbed a prostitute at a hotel on Waghodia Road. He then killed his father-in-law and attempted to kill mother-in-law too. The prostitute was Dayma’s sister-in-law from Jaipur who had come to Vadodara in search of a job. However, Dayma pushed her into flesh trade saying that there was no job opportunity due to the coronavirus pandemic.
