“We had sent two head constables as decoy customers at A-One Spa Centre in Block C in Sushant Lok-1. They met the spa manager at the reception. A man present at the counter demanded ₹1,000 for a massage. When asked about the charges for extra services, the man demanded ₹2,000 for each service. The decoys agreed and handed over two notes of ₹2,000 denomination to each woman to finalise the deal,” said KK Rao, commissioner of police.

The head constables soon gave a missed call to one of the inspectors, who was standing guard nearby along with a police party. “We raided the club and arrested seven women for illicit trade. We also recovered ₹4,000 given to them by the decoy customers,” Rao said. The women are aged between 20 and 25 years, the police said.

A case was registered against the accused under sections 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 of the Immoral Trafficking (Prevention) Act, 1956 at Sushant Lok-1 police station. The accused men and women were produced in the district court on Monday and sent to judicial custody, the police said.
