Thirty-five people, including 25 women, were arrested in Noida on Sunday night, 30 June, during simultaneous police raids at over a dozen spa centres allegedly running sex rackets, officials said.
There were foreign nationals among those arrested, including those from Thailand, the police officials said, but did not give their exact count.
He said 14 police teams involving seven circle officers, eight station house officers, 30 sub-inspectors and both male and female constables carried out the action.
"Altogether 35 people – 10 men and 25 women – were arrested from these spas, including multiple foreign nationals. Around Rs one lakh in cash, beer, used and unused condoms, along with other objectionable articles, were seized from these spa centres," Jaiswal said.
A case was lodged against the spa centres and their owners would be booked under the stringent Uttar Pradesh Gangsters Act, he added.
