Operation Shakti Shocker: Sex Racket Busted at Pramila Prakash Hotel in Nagpur, Three Women Rescued Two Pimps Arrested

Khabar 24 Express | Nagpur: In a major crackdown under “Operation Shakti,” the Nagpur Police busted a sex racket operating inside Pramila Prakash Hotel in the Beltarodi area, creating shockwaves across the city. Acting on a specific tip-off, the Crime Branch’s Social Security Branch and Anti-Human Trafficking Unit raided the hotel late Thursday evening and rescued three women forced into prostitution.

The operation, conducted between 5:30 pm and midnight on October 9, exposed a well-organized network of human trafficking and commercial sex activities running inside Pramila Prakash Hotel, located at Plot No. 10, Dobinagar, Besa-Pipla Road.

During the raid, police arrested two suspects —
Kanchan Moreshwar Nimje (28), a resident of Golibar Chowk, and
Deepak Hemantkumar Shukla (21), a resident of Sant Tajuddin Baba Nagar, Besa Road.

According to police sources, the duo had been luring women into the flesh trade and arranging customers for financial gain. The team also recovered Rs 5,400 in cash, three mobile phones, and other materials worth around Rs 65,900 from the scene.

A case has been registered at the Beltarodi Police Station under Section 143(2) of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3, 4, 5, and 7 of the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act (PITA).

The raid was executed under the guidance of Police Commissioner Ravinder Kumar Singal, Joint Commissioner Navinchandra Reddy, Additional CP (Crime) Vasant Pardeshi, Deputy Commissioner (Detection) Rahul Maknikar, and Assistant CP (Crime Branch) Abhijit Patil. The operation was led by PI Rahul Shire with the support of constable Laxman Chavre and his team.

Police officials confirmed that the rescued women are now being provided counselling and rehabilitation support.

Operation Shakti — launched to dismantle human trafficking and illegal sex rackets in Nagpur — continues to expose dark underworld networks thriving behind closed doors. The latest raid at Pramila Prakash Hotel has once again proven that the Nagpur Police are leaving no stone unturned to protect women and crush the city’s prostitution nexus.
