Atish used to ferry the women in his car to prospective clients. He would first send explicit photograph of the woman to the customers on their Whatsapp. If selected, the women were then taken to the clients. The pimp was operating a high profile sex racket as she served the ‘elite’ clientele. Rooms in many hotels are booked for this high-profile business. Online flesh trade has been ‘thriving’ in the Second Capital City of Nagpur with high-profile clientele ‘preferring’ foreign women. Cops had busted a similar sex racket in October.

The Crime Branch sleuths had received a specific information that flesh trade is being run through ‘Skokka.com’. The cops also came to know that a notorious pimp named Maya was operating the website known as ‘Nagpur Escorts’. Acting on the tip-off, cops deployed a decoy customer. This decoy made online contact and sought a woman. The decoy customer then was provided the phone number of Khadse. Khadse told him that he is sending image of a woman on Whatsapp. As the police decoy ‘confirmed’ a woman, Khadse asked her to go to Poonam Chamber. Soon the decoy also reached the spot where the sleuths of Crime Branch were already laid a trap. Cops nabbed Khadse and rescued the woman who was brought from Delhi.
