Based on the FIR, the police flung into action and arrested the woman, who allegedly forced the victim into prostitution.
According to Delhi Commission for Women (DCW), the woman approached the victim, promising her a job in Dubai.

The DCW helped the victim lodge a complaint against the woman who forced her into prostitution.
DCW chairperson Swati Maliwal said that this is one of the modus operandi of traffickers who work on G.B. Road.
“They lure women from small cities and neighbouring countries by promising them good jobs in the city and then sell them to the brothels once they land in Delhi.
