The revelations prompted prompt action from the police authorities against the perpetrators. Authorities have stated that agents Rohit and Irfan, also known as Rahul Madan, have been booked in connection with the case.

The surge in the city’s crime rate has prompted law enforcement to adopt various measures, including increased nighttime patrolling, setting traps, and conducting targeted raids based on received information. Simultaneously, efforts are underway to crack down on several illegal businesses. Despite these actions, the frequency of incidents in the city shows no sign of decline.
The police have urged citizens to remain vigilant, particularly regarding establishments masquerading as massage parlors and spas. They emphasize close monitoring of such businesses and encourage residents to promptly report any suspicious or illegal activities to the authorities. This proactive approach aims to foster community involvement in maintaining public safety and curbing the prevalence of unlawful operations in Pune.
