DCW asks Delhi Police to take action against several spas

New Delhi, Nov 8 (Agency) The Delhi Commission for Women has asked Delhi Police Crime Branch to take strict action against several spas where allegedly prostitution rackets are being run, the DCW statement said on Monday. The DCW received several complaints against prostitution rackets allegedly being run in spas in Delhi. As a part of its enquiry, the Commission set up an investigative team that called ‘Justdial.com’ and sought numbers of spas operating in South Delhi.

Within 24 hours, the Commission’s team received over 15 calls and 32 Whatsapp messages from certain ‘spas’, wherein pictures of more than 150 young girls, the Commission said. While the Commission’s team only requested details for spa service, the same was automatically construed as a request for sex and the so called spas immediately provided details regarding the illegal prostitution activities they were indulging in. The Commission has asked Delhi Police to register an FIR in this issue.
