During investigations, it was revealed that Lal was in contact with a woman named Zarina from Uzbekistan. She would route women to him, as per demand. "Zarina was in Mumbai a couple of years ago, and during a job hunt, she had met Lal. He told her that he provides women to customers and lured her by saying that if she introduced them to him, both would earn a good amount," said an officer from the SS Branch.
"We have arrested Rajesh Kumar from the hotel; this is the same hotel where we had conducted a raid on December 23. Zarina, who is the kingpin of the racket, is the main accused in the matter and currently, is in Uzbekistan," said another officer. Lal has been handed over to Juhu cops by the SS branch.
