NEW DELHI, SEPT. 21. Four young girls and an alleged pimp have been arrested by the Crime Branch of the Delhi police for allegedly running a prostitution racket. According to the police, a decoy customer was sent to strike a deal with the suspect who had parked his Maruti Zen car, in which four girls were also present, in a parking lot at Satyam Tower in Paschim Vihar on Monday evening. After the deal was finalised at Rs. 1,500 for each girl, the waiting police team apprehended all of them. All the girls were from West and South-West Delhi and aged between 19 and 29. The alleged pimp, identified as Karan Thakur, a resident of Vasant Vihar, was earlier a taxi driver ferrying passengers to and from the airport. He used to supply the girls to various hotels, guesthouses and farmhouses in West and South-West Delhi. Further investigations in the case are on.
