Kartavya: Duty with Dedication
Chapter 14: Is it
a spa or….?
A young man: Do you have anything new?
Hotel Owner: Rose flavour present in stock.
A young man: Rate?
Hotel Owner: 800.
A young man: Make the price fair enough.
Hotel owner: The Rose cultivation is getting expensive, but
if you are a regular customer, give at least 600.
The above telephonic
conversation is not as simple as it sounds. This dialogue is a danger bell for
civil society. Whether it is a town or a big city, prostitution is spreading
alarmingly. The lives of many young men and women are being ruined by the evil
of prostitution. There are many places where body trade business is run under
the banner like beauty parlour, massage centre and spa. The district police are
constantly trying to ensure that the lives of young men and women who fall into
the trap of prostitution, must not be ruined. As a result, the district police
busted a prostitution racket by raiding a spa massage centre in Modasa, the
district headquarters.
The police take
a strict stance on any unethical activities in the district and try to stamp it
out immediately. The police received details about a prostitution racket
running under the guise of a spa massage centre. Immediately the district
police team became active to crack the spa racket.
Modasa city is the
hub of education. Students from all over the country come here for their studies. Some
elements entice such students into prostitution. It was privately tipped off
that the owner of Thai Spa and Massage Parlour situated
next to one of the hotels on Modasa Shamla Road, is running prostitution under
the guise of an illegal spa. Moreover, it was involved in many sordid activities
such as sneaking girls from abroad illegally, calling clients and conducting
illegal prostitution business.
No sooner had
they found the information, the police raided the Thai Spa and Massage
Parlour. The cringey views from the spa centre were degrading the
notability of the town. In a small room, girls from the other provinces with their
customers were caught in appalling conditions. The owner of the spa centre was taken
into the custody immediately. The whole affair became the talk of the town. By assaulting
this racket, the police have succeeded in preventing the lives of many young
men and women from being ruined by the taint of prostitution. The police took
strict action against the hotel owner and the caught customers.
Collegians
demand or call pocket money from their parents every month in the name of their
studies. Despite facing indigence parents tend to fulfil their children’s
desires, but the children are misusing the money and ruining their lives by
engaging in unethical business. While some girls take a short cut to earn money
due to the appearance of the hi-fi lifestyle and get into prostitution and make
their lives poison. Once in this business there is very little chance of
turning back. Girls who want to get away from prostitution are blackmailed by
hotel owners and pimps. Even though girls have to escape, it becomes impossible
to escape from this clutch, so it is imperative for young men and women to be
vigilant and stay away from such elements.
PSI V. V. Patel who
busted the spa racket says, “Call girl details have gone viral in Google. In a
single click, heaps of contact numbers and photos are found instantly. By
abusing some loopholes in the law, pimps exploit needy and young girls who have
been kidnapped from foreign states. Girls from Nepal, West Bengal and
Bangladesh are preyed upon by brokers. Once victimized girls fall into that
clutch there is no turning back. Laws treat such girls as victims. The main
objective of the police is to take action against the brokers, to save the
girls from their clutches.”
Many lives were
saved from being ruined when the Modasa spa racket was exposed. Enlightened
citizens of the district, social organizations applauded the work of the
police. The police will have to remain vigilant and take strict action to
prevent the town from becoming a hub for such flesh trade by doing any other
activity in the name of guest house or spa centre.
