After the complainant’s husband passed away around 14 years ago, she ran a brothel at her residence in order to sustain her family. During this time, a woman would frequent her residence for work, but for quite some time now the complainant has wound up the business.
On Sunday evening, around 7.45 pm, the doorbell of her house rang. When she opened the door, she saw four women in plain clothes with their faces covered. They claimed to be police personnel and told her that a complaint had been filed against her for running a brothel. The complainant told the women that she had stopped running the brothel. However, the women demanded Rs 30,000 to "settle" the matter.
The complainant smelt a rat and raised an alarm, causing people to gather at her residence. Just then, one of the women happened to adjust the dupatta covering her face and the complainant realized that she was the same person who earlier worked for her. Sensing that the group was trying to con her, she informed the police and a complaint was lodged against the four women for impersonation and extortion.
