HYDERABAD: An international child bride racket has been busted here with the arrest of 20 people, including five Omani sheikhs, three Qataris and three qazis. Among them is the chief qazi of Mumbai, Farid Ahmed Khan, who is accused of being the kingpin and brokering the illegal contracts with forged nikahnamas.

Nine men, including a leader of the ruling BJP, have been nabbed by the cyber cell of the Bhopal police for running an online sex racket.

Among those arrested was Neeraj Shakya (33) who was appointed as state media in-charge of the ruling BJP’s scheduled caste (SC) cell in Bhopal only a few days ago.

“Following his arrest by the cyber cell, State BJP president Nandkumar Singh sacked him from the party,” MP state BJP chief spokesperson Deepak Vijayvargiya told the New Indian Express.

The SP (Cyber Cell, Bhopal) Shailendra Chouhan gave the names of the others accused of running the sex racket and arrested as Dinesh alias David Singh, Suresh Gahlot, Ravi Prajapati, Harjit Dhanwani, Manoj Kumar Gupta, KK Jaiswal, Suresh Belani, Miswauddin.

Three customers were also arrested during the raid late on Thursday night.

Four women looking for jobs hailing from Maharashtra, Meghalaya and Panna (MP) were rescued.

In February this year, three ruling BJP cadre, including Bhopal BJP IT Cell chief Dhruv Saxena, were arrested by the State anti-terrorism (ATS) squad for running Chinese simbox enabled illegal telephone exchanges, which allegedly aided spying by Pakistan’s inter-service intelligence (ISI) in India.

According to SP (Cyber Cell Bhopal) Shailendra Chouhan, “our team was working on the matter since three months following specific inputs about an online sex racket running in posh areas of Bhopal through a web portal.” Sustained probe revealed that those operating the racket were regularly scanning resumes/CVs of girls and women urgently needing jobs on various job portals.

The men had listed their own contact numbers on the web portal facilitating the alleged sex racket.

Addressing a news conference, Maliwal said, “I’m trying to understand how a prostitution racket worth thousands of crores has been fully operational for years. The daily business of prostitution in GB Road is at least Rs 5 crore. I have got a very credible lead in my investigation that there’s a minister belonging to the central government and an important Delhi-based leader from the country’s important party, under whose patronage this prostitution has been running.”

Maliwal said that she was trying to find out the real people behind the illegal prostitution operational just three kms from the country’s parliament, when FIR was slapped against her.

” I was about to reach the conclusion of the probe and find the real culprit when fake FIRs were registered against me. Now, I’m receiving messages that the central government will have me arrested and removed from my post through the office of LG.”

Maliwal said that the prostitution was a dirty profession, where girls as young as 8-10 years old were being raped and sold.

She said that one girl was being forced o sleep with at least 30 people every night.

The Anti Corruption Branch had registered an FIR against DCW chief Swati Maliwal in connection with alleged irregularities in recruitment in the women’s panel.

“A case under sections 13(D) of Prevention of Corruption Act, 409 (criminal breach of trust) and 120B (punishment of criminal conspiracy) of the IPC has been registered against Maliwal,” said a senior ACB officer.

The ACB had taken up the probe on a complaint by former DCW chief Barkha Shukla Singh, who alleged that several AAP supporters were given plum posts in the women’s panel.

Singh, in her complaint, had listed the names of 85 people who, she claimed, got jobs “without requisite credentials”.
