The complainant stated in the FIR that she had run sex trade earlier which she stopped around five years ago.

The woman stated that her husband died 14 years ago after which she decided to work as sex worker to earn a livelihood for her and her family comprising a daughter and a mentally-challenged sister-in-law. She said that she has two twin sons, 24, who had renounced her while taking ‘diksha’ around 10 years ago.

She claimed that she stopped working as sex worker around five years ago and the woman from Bapunagar had also not met her since then.

On Sunday evening, three women wearing dupattas on their faces along with the woman from Bapunagar barged into the complainant’s house and began abusing her, alleging that she was still running sex trade from her house.

She said that the trio while producing the woman from Bapunagar as witness of the sex trade began seeking Rs 30,000 from her to strike a compromise in the case and threatened that they would take her to police station and file a complaint if she would not pay them money.

Suspecting this, the complainant began screaming for help and her neighbours rushed there and held the three women. Later, she called up police control room and a team of Khadia police reached and nabbed the three women identified as Priyanka Makwana, 28, Ankita Parmar, 30, and Dipali Parmar, 28—who all are residents of Saraspur.
