- Foreign women, hotel managers handed over to Banjara Hills police
A prostitution racket involving foreign women was busted during a police raid at a hotel in Hyderabad’s upscale Banjara Hills area. The operation took place late Wednesday night, October 22, when the Hyderabad Task Force conducted searches at the R Inn Hotel following intelligence inputs about illegal activities on the premises.
During the raid, police discovered that prostitution was being organized at the hotel with the involvement of foreign nationals. The Task Force team detained several suspects, including the foreign women and hotel managers allegedly linked to the racket. After the raid, all detainees were handed over to the Banjara Hills police for further inquiry. A case has been registered, and authorities have launched a deeper investigation into the network’s operations.
Sources said the raid was part of an ongoing crackdown on illegal sex rackets operating in high-end areas of the city. Officials are currently verifying the identities and visa statuses of the foreign nationals detained during the operation. Investigators are also probing whether local agents facilitated the trafficking and accommodation of the women involved.
The Banjara Hills police have begun a detailed probe to identify those responsible for running the racket and supplying clients. They are examining hotel records, call details, and online activity to trace possible links with organized human trafficking groups operating in multiple cities. Meanwhile, efforts are underway to secure assistance from the Immigration Department to verify the legal status of the detained women.
This incident underscores the city police’s continued vigilance against trafficking and exploitation networks using luxury hotels as fronts for illegal trade. Authorities stated that strict action would be taken against all individuals found complicit in facilitating prostitution or violating immigration and moral laws.
