According to Arun, it is getting more and more and more default to get hold of the traffickers in this business and they are adapting to the new ways of working every time. “Earlier they (the pimps) used to collect the money themselves while fixing the deal with the customer, but now to avoid the arrest they have changed their modus operandi,” said Arun. “According to their new modus operandi, the taxi is arranged which takes the girls to the customer and here girls themselves collect the money and that way it becomes difficult to catch the traffickers red-handed,” he added.
