Mumbai, May 30: A mother, who sent her two minor daughters to solicit customers, along with a woman pimp was arrested by the Mumbai police's social service branch from Sion.
Last Friday, assistant commissioner of police Vasant Dhoble sent a fake customer to the accused and busted the racket run by the two women. "We raided a room at Prerna Municipality Kamgar Chawl, where the accused had let out her mezzanine floor and sent her two minor daughters (11 and 13) for soliciting customers. The customers were sent by her neighbour for Rs 4,000," said Dhoble.
Police have arrested the neighbour, identified as Baby Nadar, under the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act ( PITA). Nadar would get customers and then ask the accused to send her daughters. The mother, whose name has been withheld, used to rent the room as well accept money for her daughter's services, said police. The probe has been handed over to Sion police station.
