SHILLONG: Police arrested 13 people from two city hotels on Wednesday night and another four from a parked vehicle, for their involvement in various immoral acts.

Police conducted a raid on Hotel Ashit in Police Bazaar and arrested four sex workers hailing from Assam along with other four men (three from Shillong and one from Rajasthan). In the second raid on Rajasthan Hotel at Thana Road police arrested a sex worker hailing from Assam and another man who was with her. Police also arrested three staff of the two hotels.

In another case, police arrested three young men and one woman, who were involved in immoral acts inside a vehicle parked at Keating Road.

All the arrested persons have been booked under the Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act.

In an unrelated incident, three people were arrested from Lum Shyllong for performing rituals at the sacred place on Wednesday.

The arrested persons have been identified as Tinus Rani from Jirang, Ri-Bhoi district, Masterlin Thongni from Umsophria, Ri-Bhoi and Amjad Ali, owner of Maa Hotel, Khlieh Iewduh.

Police informed that Rani and Thongni were performing some rituals to cure Ali, who has been suffering from some illness for seven years.

“We arrested them since we suspected that they were planning to commit some nuisance at Lum Shyllong,” police said.
