Major sex racket busted at Udaipur resort, 29 arrested
Udaipur: Police, Sunday, busted a major sex racket operating under the guise of an 'event' at a private resort on the outskirts of the city. A total of 29 people, including 14 women and 15 men, were arrested on the spot.
Acting on the directives of SP Yogesh Goyal to crack down on unethical activities and prostitution, a special team was formed under additional SP Umesh Ojha, led by CO West Kailash Chandra and Sukher SHO Ravindra Charan. Police received a tip-off about organised prostitution at the resort, where women were allegedly brought in from outside and engaged in sex work in exchange for money. To verify the information, a team member posed as a customer and approached the resort operator, who agreed to provide women under the pretext of an 'event.

Once the deal was confirmed, police raided the resort and caught all 29 individuals involved. The arrested include 15 male customers and 14 women engaged in prostitution.
Preliminary investigation revealed that individuals from multiple states were part of the racket, suggesting an interstate network. The men hailed from Gujarat's Bhavnagar, Ahmedabad, Surendranagar, and Amreli, while the women were from Delhi, Haryana, Neemuch and Indore in Madhya Pradesh, Lalitpur in Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan's Jaipur and Kota. All the accused have been booked under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act.
Further investigations are underway to identify the key operators and trace the full extent of the network.
