Pune Crime Branch raided a massage parlor in Aundh, uncovering a prostitution racket operating under the guise of spa services. The raid led to the detention of nine women, including four from Thailand. The owner, manager, and two others have been booked under the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act at Chatuhshrungi Police Station.

Acting on a tip-off, Inspector Ajay Waghmare of Crime Branch Unit Four received intelligence about suspected illegal activities at Murkute Plaza, Aundh. To verify the claims, an undercover officer posed as a customer and confirmed the ongoing prostitution activities.
