Hyderabad: In a joint operation conducted by Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) and teams from Kukatpally and KPHB police to curb street prostitution, 31 women and 4 transgender persons were caught and rescued from a flesh trade on Wednesday night.

The operation under the supervision of K Srinivas Rao, ACP Kukatpally, was focused on preventing street prostitution at Bhagyanagar bus stop, KPHB metro station, Kukatpally and vicinities.

Following complaints from citizens on street prostitution becoming rampant in these areas, four special teams were formed for the operation. These teams included the ACP, three Inspectors, seven sub-inspectors, two assistant sub-inspectors, and 36 police constables.

According to the police, as a result of the operation, 31 women and 4 transgender persons involved in street prostitution were caught. Four cases were registered at Kukatpally police station, and one case was registered at KPHB police station under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956.

“The individuals caught were produced before the Tahsildar in Kukatpally for binding them over to ensure good behaviour. After completing the bind-over procedure, they will be released with notices issued under Section 35 of the BNSS Act,” Srinivas Rao said.

Earlier this month, a similar operation was conducted with the same special teams during which 22 individuals were caught and cases were booked at Kukatpally and KPHB police stations.

The Cyberabad Police said they will strictly enforce laws against prostitution and related activities. “No form of prostitution is encouraged or tolerated within our jurisdiction. Regular operations are conducted to prevent and eliminate such illegal activities, ensuring the safety and security of all citizens,” the ACP warned.
