New Delhi [India], November 6 (ANI): Delhi Police busted an immoral trafficking racket in the Paharganj area after receiving an alert through the 'Say Help' app, resulting in the arrest of a woman.

The 'Say Help' App, designed especially for women's safety and public security, enabled police intervention in the human-trafficking-related offence, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Central District, said.
The police recovered three packets of unused condoms and 2,000 marked currency (4 notes of Rs 500).
Deputy Commissioner of Police Nidhin Valsan said, "On the intervening night of October 30 and 31, an alert regarding suspected immoral activities was received via the Say Help App from the Paharganj area. Acting swiftly, a dedicated team comprising the Special Staff, Central District and the team of SAY HELP APP was mobilised to verify and act on the information. During technical surveillance and field intelligence, reliable information was received about Galaxy Spa, DBG Road, Nabi Karim, Delhi, being involved in immoral trafficking and related offences."
He further said that a police staff member, as a decoy customer, was deputed with Rs 2,000 pre-noted currency and instructed to give a WhatsApp missed call as a signal.
"At around 19:25 hrs, the decoy confirmed illegal activities. The raiding team immediately entered the premises and found six women and one female receptionist involved in immoral activities. The marked currency and three sealed packets of condoms were recovered and seized as per law.
