Following a secret police raid at the Corinthia Hotel located at Kutchery Chowk in Ranchi, authorities rescued two minor girls who had been forcibly pushed into flesh peddling. Alongside the minors, police arrested three young women and eight men, which included hotel staff and alleged brokers working in collusion with the management.
Initial police investigations into the Ranchi hotel raid have revealed the name of a Bihar resident named Rajan as the mastermind behind the sex racket. Police noted that Rajan’s name has previously surfaced in several similar prostitution cases where he managed to evade action, and authorities are now actively searching for him.
