Deputy Commissioner of Police (West) Labhu Ram said the accused had brought the victims from New Delhi for an event management function and did not allow them to return. They made them work at a bar in Kengeri to lure customers . The racket came to light when one of the victims managed to contact the police and narrated her plight, based on which a team of police raided the house in Kengeri where the victims were forcibly kept.
