New Delhi : Over 100 residents of Mahipalpur area near Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport Thursday tried to barge into a guest house after the policefailed to act on their complaints about a prostitution racket being run from it.
Police, called to the spot after commotion, arrested four women, including two Russians, on prostitution charges.
The people, all residents of Mahipalpur area, gathered in front of the 365 Inn guest house to protest the sex racket and some of them scuffled with the staff of the guest house and pimps.
At this, the women and the staff inside the premises locked themselves in. One of the protesters, Satbir Singh, then called the police.
The police arrested three women while one jumped off the building while trying to escape. “She injured her leg and was arrested,” said a police officer.
The police took all the four women – two Russians and two Indians – to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) where the injured Indian woman managed to give the escorting policemen the slip.
The other three were arrested and a case of immoral trafficking registered against all the four women.
One of the local residents said they had already informed the police of the racket but no action was taken.
“We had to take the matters in our hands as police were not taking any action. Such things leave bad impression on our children and society,” the resident said.
