Bengaluru: The Thalaghattapura police have busted a prostitution racket operating out of the Radiant Professional Unisex Salon and Spa located near Vajrahalli Metro Station on Kanakapura Main Road. Two women — the spa’s owner and manager — were arrested following a raid on Sunday evening.

According to a complaint filed by a PSI of the Thalaghattapura police station, a tip-off led police to the establishment at Building No. 2008 in the BCCHS Layout.
