Darrang Police Detain Nine in Raid on Alleged Sex Racket at Kharupetia LodgePreviousNext

Darrang police conducted a raid on Oyo Nexo lodge in Kharupetia town, detaining nine individuals, including four women, over an alleged sex racket. Several couples were found without proper documentation, and preliminary inquiries revealed that two women were reportedly supplied by lodge authorities to men for a fixed rate and duration. Police seized lodge registers and official documents during the search. The lodge's joint owners, Rafik Ali and Banesh Ali, remain absconding.
