Udupi: Prostitution racket - Police raid lodge, arrest eight


Daijiworld Media Network – Udupi (UM/SP)

Udupi,Sep 17: Inspector of Manipal station, along with other police personnel, raided Broadway Boarding and Lodging located at Eshwar Nagar in Manipal here on Tuesday September 16 night. The raid was conducted based on reliable information received by Karkala sub-division assistant superintendent of police, Annamalai, about a brothel being run there.

The police reportedly found that immoral activities were going on at the lodge. They took into custody eight accused, identified as Sachin Kumar AB (32) alias Santosh Kotian, son of Shyam Poojary alias Ravikumar, residing at Kunjal, Brahmavar, Jaffer Syed Khan (39), son of Syed Khan, resident of Swalat Colony Bhadravati, Shamshuddin (39), son of Abdul Khader from Nehru Nagar, Sagar, Shimoga district, N V Krishna Nair, son of T Krishnan from Eshwara Nagar Manipal, Bhoja, son of Mudura Devadiga from Paduvari in Udupi district, Anil Kumar, son of Sheenappa, native of Jaipur in Chikmagalur district, and Siraj from Eshwara Nagara Manipal.

These persons have been accused of abetting prostitution activities. Two ladies from Bangalore and one from West Bengal were also arrested from the lodge.

Krishna Nair is the owner of the lodge, while others include some staff involved with running of the lodge, it is gathered.

The raiding party also confiscated cell phones, a Maruti Omni van, cash, etc used for these activities, after making an inquest. A case stands registered in Manipal police station against the accused under section 3, 4, 5A, 5C and 6 of Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act. Investigation is progressing.

    Its a myth that misery and poverty are the only reasons for the proliferation of this profession, there are myriad reasons the main being money and for some easy money along with enjoyment!!!

    BTW, why we never hear about 'gigolos', which is also a flourishing biz in metro cities being apprehended???

    There may be so many such joints flourishing in DK and surrounding areas, it is the great demand that attracts the supply!! And this activity cannot be controlled as far as there are humans on this earth and they produce 'erotic' hormones!!

    In fact if one sees carefully in some leading news dailies in metros like Mumbai there is almost a full page of mini ads for such services under the guise of friendship club, adventure club, massage parlor etc. which offer all kinds of such services, you demand and they provide, but at a cost that you can afford!! Even 'foreigners' of all hues and colors are said to be available through contacts!! This business can even get an 'industry status' while seeing the way it has mushroomed in even the rural most areas!! Jai Hind!!

    It hurts to read about sex that too about prostitution which is an evil to civil society. As a matter of fact all are born in a family and the social circumstances lead some to land in such miserable condition. If these women are educated and given a job to do this kind of evil will vanish automatically. As some people imagine it is not pleasure but will break many families and culture.

    Few days back, a national award winning cine actress got caught on prostitution charges and all news papers, media published her pictures and her name is spoiled. But identity of the businessman who was caught with her is not revealed. This happens in most of the sex scandal related matters. People of more interested about woman only and men left un-noticed.

    Media should publish even male culprits details and picture in such scandals, so that, people becomes cautious and avoid doing such misdeeds.

    Tough time for pleasure and companion seekers.

    If you sit in the park, ice-cream parlor, any hill side, beach side....etc. Moral police & culture protectors will attack.

    Pleasure (sex) seekers are monitored and trapped by informers, media (private eye) and punished by the Police.

    What is the best solution? (not for me)

    Prostitution was there is since ages, it is not very big problem.
    It can not be eliminated also.
    Some Western countries have legalized it also.
    Problem is with trafficking of women and girls who are sold and forced into prostitution. Some times young boys are also seduced. If victims try to expose the perpetrators, they are severely punished or some times killed even.
    Some bad elements in law enforcement are helping the racket.

    I think we should make prostitution legal with license.

    All prostitutes should be respected in society.

    Prostitution is not only about sex it is like companion. some lonely person do need some attention and love.

    Anyways I think we should encourage.

    At least people wont rape or harass any ladies

    1.Going through your comment, do you live somewhere near 'Broadway'
    by any chance? just asking...
    2."Prostitution is not only about sex it is like companion. some lonely person do need some attention and love."Unquote".
    Think a very 'deep research' has been done by you in this matter.
    Waa betaa Waa! Never ever can one present a 'case for prostitution' like you have!
    With comments like this prostitution is likely to thrive and grow by 'leaps and mounts'!!

    3."Anyways I think we should encourage.At least people wont rape or harass any ladies"
    Arree Another Gem!!

If Police wants to arrest then go and arrest those who cause trouble to others in the society (BD gang, Sene etc).

    Even a condolence message, tribute
    and the like. Then there are those who see names and punch disagree accordingly! Matter does not matter to them!!
