Beltangady, May 11: Police raided a canteen on KEB Road in Kasaba village of Beltangady and arrested three persons for allegedly operating a prostitution racket from the premises.

The arrested have been identified as Sundar Shetty of Poyyagudde in Padangady village, Usman of Navoor, and Haider, a resident of Kalleri in Thanneerupantha village.

According to police, the canteen remained closed on Sundays, and during this period, the accused had allegedly arranged a bedroom and toilet facility inside the canteen and brought a woman there to carry out the illegal activity for monetary gain.

A case has been registered at the Beltangady police station.

    Law enforcement taking action against illegal activities is important for maintaining public safety and social order. The incident reported is a reminder that unlawful activities can happen in unexpected places, and strict vigilance is necessary. At the same time, while legal action must take its course, society should also focus on the deeper issues that often push individuals into vulnerable situations — including poverty, exploitation, lack of support, and human trafficking. Justice should go hand in hand with compassion and rehabilitation for those affected. Appreciation to the police for acting promptly and ensuring the matter is investigated thoroughly.

    Police took action on the basis of tip off or solely on assumption. Law needs proof of the action. Here no one is caught red handed. No evidentiary proof. Can Police go further to punish the guys just because of tip off/claim. Case is not valid for further legal action.

    I really do not understand the logic. Internet is as cheap as free. Accessible porn sites are in abundance. And consensual sex is illegal!!! Its like Gabbar singh killing Thakur Baldev singh's wife in Sholay and then chopping off his hands!!!
