The Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) of Vadodara busted a spa today that was allegedly being used as a front for a prostitution nexus. It was found that customers were being charged a significant amount for the entry among other charges.

The AHTU received specific information that an individual named Tousif Khatri was bringing women from other states to ‘The Royal Rich Style Spa’ in Vadodara and forcing them into prostitution.

Based on the intelligence, the AHTU team raided the spa and rescued seven women. A woman named Shabana, alias Kajal Sheikh, was arrested from the spa, while Tousif was declared absconding. Shabana was working as a manager at the spa.

A case was registered against the duo under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act (ITPA) at the Manjalpur police station.
