Actor Aarti Mittal Arrested For Allegedly Running Sex Racket

Actor and casting director Aarti Mittal has reportedly been arrested by Mumbai police on allegations of running a sex racket. She allegedly lured models from the film industry into working as sex workers in return for money. Here's how the police found out about it.

The film industry can be a really dangerous place if you fall into the wrong company. Not everyone is as sweet as they seem and they don't always want your good. Models and struggling artists often find themselves involved in the shady business because they are either compelled or desperate to actually do something about their careers.

A similar case came to the notice of Mumbai police where young models trying their luck in the industry were lured into sex work in exchange for a huge amount of money and the one luring them was allegedly none other than their fellow artist, casting director and actor Aarti Mittal, who they met on the set of certain modelling projects.

Aarti Mittal Arrested For Running Sex Racket

Aarti Mittal has been working in the industry for quite some time now. She had worked on shows like Apnapan: Badalte Rishton Ka Bandhan and was even reportedly part of an upcoming movie starring R Madhavan. She worked as a model for many advertisements and that's allegedly where she met up with struggling models and offered them to work as sex workers.

She offered them an amount they couldn't deny and that's how she has been reportedly 'supplying' young models to customers. The incident of this sex racket was first reported to Inspector Manoj Sutar of Mumbai police who decided to devise a plan to find the truth about the case.

Reportedly, Inspector Sutar got in touch with the 27-year-old actor posing as a customer. He asked her to send over two girls for his two friends for which Mittal demanded 60,000 rupees from him.

Mittal allegedly sent the pictures of the girls to Sutar once the money exchange was confirmed. She gave him the option of either visiting a Goregaon or Juhu hotel where his friends will meet the girls in the pictures. Sutar chose the Goregaon hotel, booked two rooms and sent over two police officers posing as his friends and customers. Upon reaching the hotel, they met Mittal who came along with the two girls and handed the two men contraceptives.

The entire incident was caught on camera and the police team caught Mittal red-handed and raided the entire hotel.

The police took statements from the models and they alleged that Aarti Mittal had lured them into sex work in exchange for 15,000 rupees. The two of them were sent to a rehabilitation centre while Mittal was arrested on Monday. The police are currently investigating the matter to find more connections and details.
