    No woman will ever willingly accept this helplessness as profession. They enter into this profession either by force or for their livelihood.

    I think, no need to appreciate the crime branch becoz it is quite common in entire india which is everybody knows. Every policeman knows that, the flesh trade is running most of the bars & Lodges. This is really eye wash to show the public that, they are in charge. Or if really they are controlling the trade, then the unique percentage of HIV Should be 0 - 1%. I really mean it. I donot know others.

    Rather than raiding and arresting them, India must liberalize flesh trade and make it a regulated business. Everyone knows it is the oldest profession in the world and it exists every where. One can never ban it or hope it goes away.

    Like most countries, we should allow it to exist with in a legalised framework so that it can be controlled as well as have norms to operate. Otherwise, it will breed curruption as usual and those who want it will always find ways to get it.

    I fully agree with you, the problems we have that slow courts, easily anyone take advantage of our IPC also corrupt Government servents, and Politicians (are the politicians realy worth to lead our country?) and needy people. Media is also not trustworthy, they manipulate the news and convey wrong messages.

    There is no way prostitution could be stopped. It caters to a specific group of people who need other women! (sometime even though they have a life partner!). This kind of people can be socially damaging when they were deprived of free access to the sexual pleasures. They can engage in such activities at work or rape girls or start illicit relationship with other happily married women. These perverts are well served through prostitution without much social consequences. Consequences of deprivation are significant than let them live alone.

     I would take a “No Action” stand on this subject and let the market take care of this. Let our police focus on protecting normal people who go out to earn their daily bread. Let the police show us their heroism of protecting normal citizens. For your information, Prostitution is legal in Amsterdam, Netherlands and it even exists in Saudi Arabia! Where this is punishable by death!. I will let you figure out about Dubai!.

    Many peoples in India/World are struggling for their livelyhood because of poverty/ unemployment/ dependents are sick etc. etc. nobody will think/comment about them when they are really suffering, when these people (flesh trade peoples) engage in these types of trades to fillfill their livelyhood or their requirement/dependents' requirements, general public commenting and entertaining. Govt./dept should take some steps to irradicate poverty, unemployment etc. etc. instead of publishing thier photos and entertaining this issue.

    This is not new....Most of the lodges in Mangalore you can find these kind of trade....some of the lodges run because of only this trade. Star hotels have star fecilities to choose and order. Ministers have their own farm house with police guards....so what are you proving catching these poor girls? will they stop this profession? Each and every police knows where the trade is going on but they catch them only when they don't pay so called "Hafta"

    What you people are talking about? Who dares to control & stop oldest profession of the world. Many pimps, policemen and others who directly or indirectly depend for livelihood on these flesh trade would die of unemployment. Punish the pimps severely and let the girls to reform as many of them are victims of false promise and forced into this. We need people like Hon. RR Patil HM of Maharashtra in Karnataka to take headon theses pimps.

    According to me government should give special permission to all the star hotels to run this type of business so that ordinary people can walk on the road. Also we can stop the bribes, etc., It is a basic requirement of human being.

    Well done. I appreciate Crime Investigation Bureau of the District. This trade is still going on with the knowledge of cops. Whoever is not providing goose to police will be caught rest will not be caught. Love and lust for money and sex has been increased where men and women have defiled themselves. Some are pushed, some are economically zero and some are acquiring luxuries in short-cut methods have landed in this trade. There are many flaws in our society like dowry, greediness, excessive selfishness perhaps the husband may be drunkard neglecting welfare of children. However, this is not the way of acquiring money in a dignified manner.

    If dept. raid almost all the lodges in the city in this connection they can arrest 60 or 600 not 6 only. Why dept. is not disclosing lodge's name and why dept. is allowing to take clips/photographs to publish.

    Its a job well done by the city crime branch. But to sit and ponder if this is going to stop all the flesh trade may be a big mistake. This could be just a tip of an iceberg. However if the police take up this cause as passionately as this one I dont think flesh trade will remain in Mangalore. The police will have to raid every hotel in the city as often as possible but at the same time not embarass decent guests.

    At the same time instead of publishing the photos and names the police must try through some NGO's to get these girls back to the main stream of the society. Many of these girls may have fallen into flesh trade because of some people who may have promised them of marriage or jobs or maybe poverty has got them here.

    It is good to stop flesh trade but it is also our moral responsibility to get them back to normal lives. Now who bells the cat???

    I dont think this is a great achievement for the Police intelligence Bureau. Such illegal trade cannot exist without their Knowledge/connivance. This is only an eyewash. It will not be a surprise that tomorrow the accused will be released/acquitted and continue their trade.
