The police also arrested a customer and rescued a 19-year-old woman who was allegedly brought to the state capital for flesh trade by the woman who ran the racket, an official said.

The 32-year-old married woman arrested by the police has been living in Shimla for a few years and had been luring young girls into flesh trade. Last night, she had booked a room in the guest house and the police laid a trap and arrested the accused, the official said.
