Patiala February 28:
More victims from across Punjab are getting in touch with the police to help them nab the accused who ran a flesh trade racket.
The high-profile accused allegedly blackmailed the victims into the flesh trade after filming them in objectionable condition. The sex racket was spread over all big cities of Punjab. The sex racket was spread till Dubai, sources say.
The accused ran a sex racket from a beauty parlour in Bathinda where the parlour caretaker, Sarbjeet Kaur lured girls to befriend the accused Maninder and Vajinder. According to police the duo after giving them drug-laced drinks filmed these victims and then blackmailed them into the flesh trade. Sources said the police are trying to ascertain the role of many white collar people of Bathinda and other parts of Punjab and Chandigarh to establish their role in this high-profile racket, where the victims were sent as escorts with their clients.
“Once the main accused is arrested, we would know to which other countries the girls were supplied to and whether they were paid or were just blackmailed,” they added. In her statement to the police, a Ludhiana-based victim narrated how she was sent to Dubai and was also sent to customers in and outside Punjab, after being forced into this profession. She has said many other girls could have met the same fate, and efforts by the cops were on to identify the girls in the pictures and MMS available with them.
The police have recovered five to six MMS clips, as many videos and photographs of many girls, believed to be from other parts of Punjab. Sources said the kingpin Vijinder was so confident that when the Patiala police team raided his flat in Bathinda and returned to Patiala, he allegedly threatened Patiala cops of dire consequences. “Following this threat we again went to Bathinda and raided the beauty parlour and slowly the entire case was in front of us,” said Passiana SHO Aman Pal Singh.
“Vajinder even the accused the police of killing his grandfather, who was bed ridden and ever since he is absconding,” said Aman Pal. Police have arrested Maninder Singh and Sarabjeet Kaur, while the other accused are yet to be arrested. Those booked in the case include dismissed DSP Gurjit Singh declared PO in a murder case; his two sons Vajinder, Maninder and wife Jaspal Kaur. Gurjit was dismissed some years back in a murder case.
