Two persons were today arrested by police here under Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act (PITA) and one 27-year-old Bangladeshi woman, who was engaged by them in flesh trade was rescued, police said.
The accused have been identified as V Nooka Raju and Mohammed Musthafa, along with a woman (who is absconding), they said.
They used to procure girls and women from various states and kept them in rented houses in Hyderabad and secretly indulged in prostitution, Rachakonda police commissioner Mahesh M Bhagwat said.
Musthafa also got Aadhar card for the Bangladeshi woman, by submitting fake documents and claiming she is his wife, the CP said.
"She is not having Bangladesh passport and she says that she was brought by dalals (agents) to Mumbai around five years ago," the senior police official said.
