New Delhi: The Delhi Police has arrested three individuals for human trafficking and dismantled an illegal prostitution racket operating out of The New View Hotel in Mahipalpur.

According to the police, the raid resulted in the rescue of ten victimised women and the apprehension of three suspects, including a broker, a hotel manager, and the hotel owner.
The operation was carried out on January 15, following a tip-off about immoral trafficking activities in the area.
