Law enforcement authorities launched a targeted crackdown in the Multani Dhanda neighborhood of Paharganj, situated directly adjacent to New Delhi Railway Station, uncovering an illegal operation masked as a wellness establishment. The residential structure had come under intense surveillance after continuous movement of unfamiliar visitors from morning until late at night raised serious red flags. Intelligence gathered by the Nabi Karim police station indicated that an illicit commercial sex ring was running behind the facade of a spa center located on the third floor of the premises. To ensure actionable evidence before moving in directly, officials devised a tactical operation.
Undercover Decoy Deployed to Verify Intelligence
Rather than storming the building purely on initial suspicion, the investigating unit sent an officer disguised as a decoy customer to enter the establishment. Upon stepping inside the third-floor unit, the undercover officer swiftly verified the unlawful operations taking place within the facility. After securing conclusive confirmation of the illicit business, the officer passed a prearranged signal to the waiting police contingent outside. Receiving the alert, the enforcement team moved in rapidly and initiated a surprise raid on the property.
Premises Breached Amid Panic and Rescue Operation
The sudden arrival of the police team triggered immediate chaos inside the compound. Several occupants attempted to scurry away in confusion, while distressed women present inside sought urgent intervention. Officers quickly sealed all exits to prevent any suspect from slipping away into the narrow lanes. Over the course of the operation, law enforcement personnel secured the entire floor and successfully rescued eight women from the facility, shifting them out of the unauthorized premises under protective custody.
Four Suspects Taken into Custody as Network Inquiry Widens
During the on-site enforcement drive, police apprehended four individuals directly associated with the illicit setup. The arrested suspects have been identified as spa owner Vivek Kumar, manager Dashrath Mandal, alongside associates Aman and Guddu Karmakar. Initial interrogations revealed their direct roles in running and assisting the unauthorized commercial activities from the address. Investigators are now tracing the complete operational timeline to determine how long the network operated undetected and whether additional associates participated in managing logistics or client arrangements.
