Ahmedabad police have uncovered an illegal prostitution racket being run under the guise of a spa in the Satellite area of the city. Acting on a tip-off, the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU) conducted a raid at ‘Mosa Spa’, situated on the third floor of Vivaan Square, Jodhpur Satellite, on December 30, at 3.15 pm.
During the raid, police discovered evidence of illicit activities being facilitated by the spa’s management. It was alleged that the establishment employed women for unlawful purposes under the pretext of offering body massage services.
As per the authorities, a dummy customer was sent into the spa to verify the allegations. The individual was instructed to engage with the manager and staff regarding inappropriate services. Upon confirmation of the illegal activities, the police, accompanied by independent witnesses, executed the raid.
Inside the spa, officers found several partitioned rooms being used for illegal purposes. Five women, along with the spa manager, identified as Ghanshyam Kuhina, were present during the operation. Kuhina, a native of Uttar Pradesh, admitted to overseeing the operations for the past three months, earning a monthly salary of ₹15,000.
The police seized ₹1,500 in cash, allegedly paid by the dummy customer, as well as business records, rent agreements, and a DVR system from the premises. During questioning, Kuhina disclosed that the spa’s owner, Dinesh Manojkumar Ramani, was aware of the activities but was not present at the time of the raid.
Further investigations are underway to apprehend the owner and gather additional evidence regarding the illegal operation.
