The girls, from Pratap Nagar in Jaipur, are stage performers. They were lured by a couple (Anil Nareen and Tania Sharma) and brought to the City.
Initially, they were promised good assignments and even got an advance of Rs 5,000. On October 2, they were received by one Punith, and taken to Doddakahalli.
Later, they were forced to work as bartenders and dancers at a joint in Sampangiramnagar.
When the girls refused, they were threatened and after two days, they garnered courage and managed to inform their family. With the help of some relatives in Bangalore, the HSR police were alerted.
The police have arrested Raju and Manoj. Search is on for Sameer and other two, who are a part of the gang.
