On Thursday, the Thane Police rescued three women who were allegedly pushed into flesh trade and arrested a female agent who was part of a prostitution racket in Thane.
Officials of the Anti-Human Trafficking Cell (AHTC) busted the flesh trade racket after carrying out a raid during which they arrested the female agent from near a hotel in the Talao Pali area, an official release said.
The agent was allegedly involved in pushing women into flesh trade and was trapped after the police sent a decoy customer, it said.
