Revolver Rani Actress Preeti Sood Busts A Sex Racket, Rescues 2 Minor Girls

Actress Preeti Sood, who starred in Kangana Ranaut’s Revolver Rani, helped the police by busting a racket in Gujarat. According to a report in Times Of India, Preeti rescue two minors from being trafficked to the US by Gujarat-based racketeers. Police have arrested four agents, including the son of a retired police sub-inspector. One of them was supposed to impersonate as the girls' father. The two girls, (11 years and 17 years) were sold by their parents and relatives and were supposed to be sent to US for flesh trade, reports the leading daily.

On March 4 afternoon, Preeti visited Shringar Salon in Versova where she got suspicious on finding three men instructing the staff on the make-up for the girls. "When I asked the men, they claimed to be sending the kids to the parents in the US. I asked them to accompany me to the police station but they refused to do so. I managed to stop two men and called police. Meanwhile one of them escaped with the girls," the actress told TOI.

Once she reported this, DCP (Zone IX) Paramjit Singh Dahiya formed a team who reached the salon and nabbed the two accused and a few hours later arrested other two and rescued the minors. "The racketeers had booked five air tickets. The accused claimed that they were paid Rs1 lakh each. Each of them has a role of getting the girls from one place to another," said a police officer.

According to reports, the four accused are a part of a racket which is operated with some immigration officials at Mumbai airport.
