Bhubaneswar, Nov 5: The illegal racket of ganja, glamour and sex in the capital city has come to fore again with the arrest of another member of a racket by the commissionerate police. A few days back, Mancheswar police had arrested a lady from West Bengal and her associate from Pandara area and seized about 25 kgs of ganja. However, with the arrest of another member, police have come to know about the modus operandi of this racket which, apart from drug peddling, is also involved in loot and robbery by luring customers through help of the glamour girls. The arrested youth, identified as Ranjan Sahoo, is said to be closely linked with the mastermind- the arrested Bengali girl and her associate Prasant Sahoo. Police, in course of investigation, have found evidence of the trio holidaying in Goa, Darjeeling and Himachal Pradesh. Besides, Ranjan has a close relationship with the arrested Bengali girl who was being used in drug peddling, flesh trade and robbery.
As informed by sources, the racket shares the mobile numbers of the glamour girls from porn sites and use them to attract potential customers. As the customers arrive to pick up these girls, the members used to rob them. The gang used to rob people in lonely places by using these girls who stop their vehicle on the pretext of giving them a lift. However, such incidents went unreported by the victims in fear of shame. Moreover, the gang members in a bid to stay clear of police, were using these girls to peddle ganja and brown sugar. After the arrest of Ranjan Sahoo, police is hopeful of getting more information about the racket.
