Two persons, including a woman, were arrested today for allegedly running a brothel from a flat in Jubilee Hills area here, police said.
A team of sleuths of Commissioner's Task Force (west zone) raided the flat on a credible information sourced from a website domain allegedly used by one of the accused, and also rescued two women sex workers.
The accused are identified as R Anjali, organiser of the brothel house, and K B Sudhakar, a sub-organiser, said a statement from the city police.

"She decided to organise a brothel house due to financial hardship with the help of her friend Sudhakar," the statement said.
The duo took a flat and was procuring sex workers from Visakhapatnam and Kolkata.
Sudhakar added an account in a website "LOCANTO.IN" wherein he gave details of sex workers along with his phone number (while introducing himself as Johny) to contact him, as per the release.
Once a customer would contact him after going through the website, Johny alias Sudhakar would send photos of prostitutes through mobile messaging service 'WhatsApp' along with the "charges", police said.
