60 Kerala women sent to Gulf, forced into sex trade

Chennai: The Kerala police probing into an online sex racket in the state have stumbled upon evidence of women being trafficked to Bahrain. In the past one year, at least 60 women were apparently sent to the Gulf country and forced into sex trade.
The crime was committed in connivance with immigration officials, they said.
Police sources said that the women were lured with lucrative jobs.They are currently under the custody of main accused, identified as Mujeeb, and one Muhammed Basheer in Bahrain.
In a state-wide crackdown, the police last month arrested 12 people, including a couple ­ Rahul Pashupalan and his model wife Resmi R Nair ­ behind the famous `kiss of love' protest, for being part of a syndicate that supplied woman and girls to clients.
