Assistant Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch II) Bhanupratap Barge said, "We had received a tip-off from our informants regarding Sood targeting rich people by sending them pictures of women. Based on the customer's choice, a room is then booked in a five-star hotel with help from co-suspect Sahanaj alias Seema. While Sood targets customers and cracks deals with them, Sahanaj accompanies these women to the hotel." Barge added that Sood has claimed to be a doctor associated with the AIIMS Hospital and "we are probing this further."
"Both the arrested persons are residents of Mumbai and their past records are being checked. The rescued women are in the age group of 25 to 30 and residents of Oshiwara and Andheri," Barge said.
