A disturbing case from Kanpur has triggered outrage after police busted an alleged s*x racket operated by a man identified as Rohit Verma, who reportedly posed as a journalist. Acting on a complaint filed by a woman from Kolkata on April 3, the Uttar Pradesh Police arrested the accused from Rawatpur area.

According to officials, a special investigation team formed under Police Commissioner Akhil Kumar recovered crucial evidence from Verma’s mobile phone. The data allegedly revealed a list of 19 hotels across the city where women were lured with job offers and then exploited. Authorities believe the operation may have been running for an extended period. S*x Racket Busted in Bulandshahr: Guest House on National Highway Sealed, College Students Among Those Rescued (Watch Video).
