You don't have PM so here it is, in public!
Slovenian was writing from his personal encounter at the safe-house, with the woman called Jyothi, who he identified correctly from the picture. Women like these move to different locations, don't they? He is writing about an event almost two years back. Ace of Hearts would know what Slovenian is talking about. You don't.
He has far more experience in the India forums than you have, and definitely more than I have. You are quoting from some paper reports, and we know what the India press is these days, as far as any accuracy of reporting goes.
What exactly were you trying to show?[QUOTE=Hyd Pal]Slovenian, I read in today's paper that the price range varies BTW 75k to 150k. Also they were caught in Kundhan B*gh, B*gumpet.[/QUOTE]
Updates - Saira Banu/Jyothi
The ladies have spoken, and most of the links reporting this incident have been removed. Their press statement is not 'smooth', but lets give the benefit of doubt to a bad translation job done by the media. :). Lets believe in the "official" version that the ladies just happened to be there for some other reason. The real target has to be some high-profile customer, rather than these ladies who were just the right bait, in this case!... I can write multiple conspiracy theories and plausibilities, at the risk of LE knocking on my door. :)
Saira Bhanu said, "I failed to understand why I am being targeted like this. A few days back I was dragged into a drug controversy and now this sex racket. I went to the spot as I was called for discussing a film. But as I reached there I could understand the intentions and by that time task force people have taken me to custody and started questioning me. I’m really pained at such ploy and will not leave the people involved in this."
Jyothi said, "Chandu is well known to me as he always helps me in getting movie offers. Even yesterday he called me for one such discussions and on reaching the spot I understood that the place was not congenial for such discussions and I was leaving the place when the special task force raided the spot and arrested everybody. As a duty task force had to arrest people involved in flesh trades and they mistook us also and arrested us. Such incidence has now caused agony to our family which is a middle class one and cannot withstand such allegations. I only request that everybody understand the situation."
While Saira Bhanu and Jyothi were released, others involved are taken into custody.
