Youtuber expose unveils prostitution racket at Majestic Underpass

NT Correspondent

Bengaluru: Youtuber Vikas Gowda recently ventured into the heart of Bengaluru to expose the harsh reality of a thriving prostitution racket in the bustling underpass of Majestic.

In a compelling video, he documented the audacious activities happening right under the noses of unsuspecting passersby.

Despite being a crucial part of Bangalore's transportation hub, the underpass connecting BMTC and KSRTC bus stations to the railway station has turned into a centre for illegal transactions.

Travellers passing through the Majestic Underpass have remained oblivious to the covert operations taking place there, but Vikas Gowda's footage reveals the hidden underbelly of this seemingly ordinary thoroughfare.

As Gowda walked through the underpass, his camera captured a woman soliciting a man, quickly followed by several others attempting to dissuade him from filming the illicit activities.

Unwilling to give in, he persisted in recording the events but eventually succumbed to pressure and deleted the footage. This disheartening episode shines a light on the persistence of prostitution, despite sporadic police crackdowns and efforts to curb such illegal enterprises in the state.

While the police department vigorously takes action against such rackets wherever they are discovered, the resilience of these operations in such a central location is a blot on Bengaluru's reputation.

Vikas Gowda's experience underscores the audacity and coercion present in this underground trade. His encounter serves as a distressing reminder of the challenges faced in eradicating this vice from the city's core.

The incident where Gowda himself was drawn into the racket stands as a poignant testament to the influence and risks of such illicit activities flourishing in plain sight.

The narrative brought to light by Gowda's video offers a stark reality check, emphasizing the need for continued vigilance and concerted efforts to combat such social maladies deeply ingrained in the city's fabric.
