Housewives Join Hands to Set Up Flesh Trade After Marriages Fail
The alleged mastermind, Vandana Meshram, 50, was arrested for running the brothel, while another woman, trapped in the trade, was rescued. Meshram, burdened with the responsibility of supporting her mentally disturbed husband, reportedly turned to the flesh trade to escape financial ruin. Meshram's accomplice, a woman living with her mother after a broken love marriage, joined the racket in a desperate bid for survival.
The duo's unlikely alliance came to light after weeks of surveillance by the crime branch, triggered by a tip-off. The raid led to the seizure of two mobile phones, ₹2,000 in cash, and items worth ₹32,348, now under forensic examination to trace potential client networks. Meshram faces charges under the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act. The raid was led by senior police inspector Sandeep Buwa and monitored by additional CP Vasant Pardeshi, DCP Rahul Maknikar, and ACP Abhijeet Patil.

Trump to prosecute Kamala Harris, Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey? US President reiterates explosive warning
US President Donald Trump has once again claimed that Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé of taking millions of dollars from Democrats during the 2024 election in return for their endorsements. He has also declared that former Vice President Kamala Harris be prosecuted along with Beyoncé, Oprah Winfrey and Al Sharpton, according to US media reports. Trump said that he was "looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats," claiming that the two A-listers had received $14 million from the party between them. Trump to prosecute Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce? The accusation follows a week of Trump's renewed interest in the Democrats' spending during the 2024 campaign. On Monday, Trump claimed that Beyoncé had been paid $11 million "to walk onto a stage, quickly ENDORSE KAMALA, and walk off" without doing any kind of musical performance. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Moose Approaches Girl At Bus Stop In Laguna - Watch What Happens Happy in Shape Undo 'I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election,' Trump began on Truth Social Saturday.

The payment was made on November 19, weeks after Beyoncé endorsed Harris at a rally in Houston.

Harris' team also sent $500,000 to Sharpton's National Action Network, according to New York Post.

Trump has peddled similar claims in the past. Last December, he alleged the Harris campaign paid the three for an endorsement, but cited slightly different figures. That time, he claimed Democrats sent '$11,000,000, $2,000,000, and $500,000 to get the ENDORSEMENT of Beyoncé, Oprah, and Reverend Al.'

In May, Trump revisited the accusations as well, publicly asking how much the Harris campaign paid Bruce Springsteen, Bono, Winfrey and Beyonce. The Harris campaign previously addressed questions about the payments made to Beyonce's production company and denied paying for an endorsement. Beyonce's mother has also publicly denied reports that her daughter was paid up to $11 million to speak at the Harris rally. Winfrey has also previously insisted she 'was not paid a dime' to participate in the event with Harris, but instead had production fees covered by the campaign. The White House has not yet confirmed if it will be pursuing any legal action against the Democrats or the Harris campaign.
