After he was released, each time he had continued with his modus operandi by renting a house in Bengaluru.

According to sources, the accused had brought in women from other states by luring them with high paying jobs and forced them into human trafficking.

He was running the racket for the past two years, sources added. Cases have been registered against the accused at Madiwala, Puttenahalli, Mico Layout, Suddaguntepalya and Hulimavu Police Stations.

The CCB police arrested the accused under the Goonda Act for repeatedly engaging in prostitution. Sources from the police said that a stricter action will be taken against the accused this time.
