Police seek Tara’s custody in sex racket case

HYDERABAD: The Banjara Hills police filed a petition in a local court seeking custody of actress Tara Chowdary, who was arrested for organising a prostitution racket.
The Banjara Hills police said they had found spy cameras at Tara Chowdary’s flat at Navodaya Colony and the preliminary probe revealed that she was recording sleazy videos. Tara was arrested under the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act (PITA) on Friday when a victim approached police alleging that she had lured her to the city with a job offer and forced her into prostitution.
“We have found incriminating evidence at Tara’s flat and, if we get her custody, she want to grill her to know what she was doing with the hidden cameras,” Banjara Hills inspector M Sudershan said.
Police had found phone numbers and visiting cards of several businessmen, politicians and even police officials in possession of Tara. She was earlier arrested by the Banjara Hills police in 2005 in a PITA case. The court posted the custody petition to Wednesday.
