The Mira Bhayandar Anti-Human Trafficking Cell rescued four girls and arrested two agents on Saturday, who were allegedly operating a sex racket.

The accused, Soloman Rathanamayya Narkantholallu, 55, a film producer from Madh Marve at Malad West, and Michael David Mutipoggu, alias Chandrakant, 22, a casting director, were casting girls for web series, films, serials, and photo shoots, and later forcing them into a prostitution racket. Their modus operandi involved Narkantholallu conducting interviews with the girls and keeping them in lodges across Mira Bhayandar, Gorai, Thane, Lonavala, and Daman.
