The Ghaziabad police busted a call centre indulged in online nudity and obscene video chats and arrested seven people, including six women.
The gang was operating in a flat in Sector-3, Rajendra Nagar and police took the action on a tip off after a woman approached it with a complaint.
In her written complaint, the woman alleged that she had applied for an online job and got an interview call on July 1 during which one Ravinder Kumar offered her the job of a finance advisor, the police said.
“The woman was called for an interview at the said rented flat on July 4. On reaching the place, she was asked to take the job of sex chat that involves undressing herself before the customers. She said that she saw 5-6 women performing the same act online. When she declined, the people in the flat issued threats and even threatened to deface her with acid. She somehow exited the flat,” the police said.
The police registered an FIR on her complaint and sent a special team including woman officers to the said flat.
During a late-night raid on Saturday, police arrested seven people, including Ravinder Kumar and his alleged aide Puja Saxena.
Five other women who worked for the two suspects were also arrested, the police said.
Police registered a first information report under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections 56 (abetment of offence), 79 (insult to modesty of woman), 351(3) (criminal intimidation) and 352 (intentional insult) at Shalimar Garden police station on July 12.
