Bhubaneswar, Aug 22: Today Commissionerate Police has filed a second charge sheet against Sunil Meher in charge of running a sex racket that too in a running car.

The 150-page charge sheet has names of a mine trader whom the police held accused along with Meher. Around names of 10 witnesses have been mentioned in the charge sheet. Similarly, on August 12, almost three and half months after arresting Meher from Kolkata, the police had filed the first charge sheet against him.

In the 300-page charge sheet, the police had named nine of his city-based aides, who were working as agents for him. Meher has over 100 such agents across the country who work as ‘middlemen’ between customers and sex workers, including foreign girls.

Sunil Meher is a notorious criminal involved in immoral trafficking for a long time and is kingpin of sex racket in Odisha.

Meher, who was wanted in nine cases and had managed to dodge the police during raids earlier, was running sex rackets both in the State as well as outside. Around 150 girls, mostly college students, worked as call girls and ‘paid girlfriends’ for rich customers across the country. In March, a young Kyrgyz woman was rescued from an apartment in Bhubaneswar whom he had allegedly managed to rope into his flesh trade.

Notably, the Quick Action Team (QAT) of the Commissionerate Police had arrested Meher in Kolkata on August 21.
