Reportedly, after the cops got a tip-off about the sex racket, a decoy customer was sent to the apartment who had fixed Rs 3.60 lakh for both the victims. The three people arrested by the cops have been identified as Sunil alias Vishal Uttamchand Jain (42), Hasina Khalid Memon (45), and Sweety Chada (47) who happened to be the owner of the apartment.
