Escape from Entrapment: Woman Rescued from Forced Prostitution in Hyderabad

A woman from Mumbai was rescued by police in Hyderabad after being lured under false pretenses, assaulted, and forced into prostitution by three women who eventually fled the scene. The victim was promised a modeling job but ended up in a dire situation. A case has been registered, and an investigation is ongoing.

A 28-year-old woman from Mumbai faced a harrowing ordeal after being allegedly lured to Hyderabad under false pretenses and subsequently trapped in a prostitution racket. Police have confirmed the incident after receiving the victim's distress call on Dial-100, promptly responding to unlock her captivity.

Initially enticed with a job offer to open a clothing showroom for Rs 20,000, the victim found herself locked and beaten by three women in a flat, who fled the scene just before police arrival. Reports speculating her as a Bollywood or TV actress were clarified by officials, citing her previous work at a Dubai nightclub.

The incident has prompted police to register a case under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956, as they actively search for the culprits, including a mediator from Mumbai who orchestrated her trip to Hyderabad.
