On April 16, 2026, the Faraskhana Police in Pune, Maharashtra, detained three Bangladeshi women—Josna Shakur Ali, Salma Khatun, and Anjura Begum—for residing illegally and engaging in prostitution in Budhwar Peth. The police acted on specific intelligence, leading to the sealing of four flats in the area, identified as being used for unlawful activities. The women reportedly entered India through illegal channels and had been living in Pune for about a month without valid documentation. A case has been registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, and the Foreigners Act. This operation was prompted by a previous case from January 2026, where a woman was allegedly confined and forced into prostitution at these premises. Police are currently working on deporting the detained women and investigating further to uncover others involved in facilitating illegal stays.
