T’puram: Thumba police on Monday arrested two local men in connection with a sex trafficking racket allegedly operated from a rented house at Kulathoor in the capital. The arrested were identified as Asif of Andoorkonam and Adheesh Krishnan of Pothencode, both of 28. Police said the duo had rented a house in Kattela area, Kulathoor, and were allegedly coordinating prostitution activities by illegally accommodating foreign women.

According to police, the Thai women did not possess valid visas. They were taken into custody for violating immigration norms. Police also detained another woman found at the premises during the raid. However, she was released after officials verified that she possessed valid travel and stay documents.
