Jammu SPO Among 5 Nabbed In International Sex Racket

#JAMMU: Acting on specific intelligence regarding immoral activities, a team from the Gangyal Police Station executed a surprise raid on a rented property in the gangyal area of Kunjwani, busting an alleged immoral trafficking racket. Five individuals, including two foreign nationals from Thailand, were arrested from the spot.

Sources revealed that the accommodation where the racket was operating had been allegedly taken on rent by a Special Police Officer (SPO) of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, identified, who is currently posted at the District Police Lines (DPL) Jammu.

An SPO (Special Police Officer) is a temporary, auxiliary police personnel engaged by state police departments in India (like the Jammu & Kashmir Police and Tripura Police) to provide local assistance, augment law enforcement strength, and aid in counter-terrorism operations.

The Gangyal Police have registered a case under relevant sections of the law. While the identities and travel documents of the detained foreign nationals are being closely verified for visa violations, a detailed investigation has been launched to uncover further institutional or local linkages to the racket.
