Kurar Police have arrested a woman from Hyderabad for allegedly running a prostitution racket that targeted young girls by promising roles in web series, especially in films linked to Ekta Kapoor. The accused pretended to be representatives of various film production houses to lure young women into compromising situations, filming these encounters on their mobile phones. They then used these videos to threaten the victims, saying they would make the footage public, and transported the women to different states, forcing them into prostitution.

The racket was uncovered when an 18-year-old girl from Malad East fell victim to the scheme and subsequently filed a complaint at the Kurar Police Station based on which the Kurar police arrested a woman pimp from Hyderabad last night and are looking for other absconding and involved accused in the crime. Sources revealed that the victim, a resident of Malad East in Kurar, was drawn into a trafficking scheme by a female friend of her mother, who occasionally visited their home.
