The Fort Police arrested two women here on Monday on charge of cheating another woman who was promised a job as a housemaid but was sent to a brothel in Malaysia.
The accused, K. Latha (45) and A. Shakila Bhanu (44), were arrested on a complaint lodged by R. Sudha (41).
Sudha was sent to Malaysia where she was picked up by Janaki and given accommodation in an apartment. Sudha realised that she was put in a place where prostitution was taking place and managed to escape a few days later from there. She went to the Indian High Commission in Malaysia and narrated her plight.
