In a successful operation on Sunday, Hyderabad Police arrested two Ugandan nationals and a customer during a raid on a brothel in Nagarjuna Nagar, Tarnaka. The action was carried out based on reliable information by the Commissioner’s Task Force, North Zone Team, Hyderabad City, in collaboration with Osmania University Police and the Women’s staff.
The raid targeted a brothel operating under the jurisdiction of the Osmania University Police Station. The police have filed a case under various sections of the Bharat Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including trafficking of persons (Section 143), exploitation of trafficked individuals (Section 144(2)), and organized crime (Section 111).
