This confirmation prompted the decoy to give the pre-arranged signal, leading a police team to enter and raid the premises, he added.

The apprehended persons, along with the recovered items, were handed over to Anand Vihar police station for further investigation. A case under various sections of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act was registered, Gautam said.

He further said that the spa was operating under a license issued in the name of a man named Imran, who was not present during the raid.

"Legal action is underway to seal the premises, and a request has been made to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) for the cancellation of the spa's license," the DCP said, adding that the investigation is ongoing to identify others involved in the racket.
