Acting on specific intelligence inputs regarding illegal activities, a team from Roing Police Station carried out a surprise operation at a resort located in the Meka area on Sunday night. During the raid, four women—reportedly brought from the Tinsukia region of Assam—were rescued and taken into protective custody, according to Roing Police Station officer-in-charge Tania Uli.
Police officials stated that the resort manager, the owner, and several customers were taken into custody for questioning after being caught allegedly engaging in prostitution during the operation. Preliminary findings suggest that the racket involved trafficking women from outside the state, while the majority of the customers were local residents.
Authorities revealed that the raid followed a series of complaints and intelligence inputs from the public over suspected immoral activities taking place at the location in recent days. Based on the findings, a case has been registered at Roing Police Station under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act. Further investigation is currently underway.
Officer-in-charge Tania Uli stated that efforts are ongoing to identify and apprehend other individuals connected to the racket, emphasizing the police department’s commitment to eliminating such illegal operations from the district.
Meanwhile, Arunachal Pradesh Home Minister Mama Natung commended the police team led by Ringu Ngupok for their swift and effective action in conducting the raid and rescuing the victims. In a statement shared on social media, he reiterated the government’s zero-tolerance stance toward social evils and unlawful activities.
“The establishment was found to be operating illegally without a valid license. Both the owner and manager have been detained, and a case has been registered to ensure strict legal action,” Natung said, adding that the government remains firmly committed to safeguarding the state and cracking down on those who exploit others for profit.
The incident underscores ongoing concerns about organized illegal activities in remote regions and highlights the role of community vigilance and prompt law enforcement response in dismantling such networks.
