The world’s oldest profession is locked in a tight embrace, albeit with technology. In a recent raid, police unearthed a prostitution racket running at a house in Electronic City police limits and found that business was being run using a swipe machine. Following a tip-off, the police raided a house at Anand Reddy Layout in Electronics City 2nd Stage on Saturday and arrested Alka Singh, 23, of Uttar Pradesh and Naheem, 27, of Shikaripalya.The police rescued two women from Kolkata who were brought to the city by the accused under the false promise of employment. Naheem was the pimp who arranged customers.“After getting credible information, we sent a decoy and found that the accused were using a swiping machine to accept money from customers. The accused sourced the swiping machine from some other person whose details are being ascertained. Severe action will be taken against the person who lent his swiping machine to run the illegal activity. We are also finding out those who have used their debit and credit cards in the said machine to ascertain if they were also part of the racket. Along with the machine, the police have also recovered Rs 3,000 in cash. Action will also be taken against the house owner,” said an officer.
