Uzbek woman, 2 others rescued from flesh trade racket in city

Nagpur: An Uzbek national, in her 30s, was among the three women rescued from flesh trade racket being operated by kingpin Bilal Ahmed. The raid was carried out at a hotel near Dr Ambedkar international airport in the city during an operation by crime branch’s social service branch (SSB) in the wee hours of Tuesday.
According to sources, the three women had flown in to the city at the behest of Bilal Ahmed alias Bunty dalal, and were ‘servicing’ clients.

The Uzbek woman was learnt to be found without passport and visa. Though cops have named her as a ‘rescued’ woman along with her two Delhi counterparts, she would be booked for violation of the norms for foreigners.
“The Uzbek national has claimed to have been staying in India, mainly in Delhi, since 2018 and came to the city 3-4 days ago. The woman also claimed her passport and visa documents are with her sister and sought time to produce the same,” said a police source.
It’s learnt Ahmed, who flaunted his connections with nationwide networks of flesh trade racketeers, had been ‘supplying’ women to top hotels across the country. Apart from Ahmed, his aide-cum-driver Rajkumar Gadelwar too has been arrested during the operation.
