Ludhiana Police Register Case Over Woman’s Allegations of Forced ProstitutionPreviousNext

The Tibba police in Ludhiana have registered a case against a woman’s parents, brother, and a family acquaintance following her allegations of being forced into prostitution after marital disputes. The complaint originated as a Zero FIR filed with Mumbai police and was transferred to Ludhiana. The woman married in 2013, returned to her parental home amid disputes in 2015, and alleged coercion into prostitution during two separate stays. Police are investigating the claims by collecting statements and evidence, with no arrests reported yet.
