Odisha police asks 8 Thai women to leave country today

Odisha police today ordered eight Thai women who were rescued from a high profile sex racket here to leave the country by 3.30 pm.

Commisioner of Police, Bhubaneswar-Cuttack police commisionerate Y B Khurania said the women were rescued on May 19 from a high-profile sex racket running in the guise of a spa at Bapuji Nagar area here.

The Quit India notice was issued to the women as they had violated the visa rules by involving themselves in the flesh trade, he said.

The notice said while some of them had tourist visas, a few had business visas.

During the raid, seven persons were arrested from the spa, Khurania told newsmen.

The special squad of the Commissionerate Police had busted a similar prostitution racket at Gajapati Nagar here recently and rescued three girls. Three men were taken into custody in connection with it.

A similar notice was issued by the police last year three Thai women and asked to leave the country for their involvement in a sex racket running at a spa located at Kharvel Nagar here.
