AIZAWL, Nov 27 : Assistance from the
commercial sex workers helped Mizoram police to nab a criminal. “With
the help of some commercial sex workers here police are said to have
arrested a murder suspect, whose search had been on”, the news report
said, adding, “A heavy criminal case has been registered”, quoting
Joseph Lalchhuana, SP, CID (Crime).
Consequence upon the help rendered by the women on the street, Aizawl Police Station is now known to keep proper record of the details of taxis on service at night in the city, which is done to prevent any untoward incident upon the commercial sex workers, locally known as KS, the report quoted the police officer as saying.
The story of the prostitutes helping the police in tracking the criminal was reported few days ago in the programme of “One Day Workshop for creating Awareness to prevent and combat Trafficking of Women and Children for Commercial Sex Exploitation”, which was held at I&PR Auditorium.
One of the presenters of papers in the said programme, Joseph Lalchhuana, SP, CID (Crime) mentioned that recent study shows that the commercial sex workers are becoming more concern over their personal security these days.
The SP, CID (Crime) shared that the police had received a complaint over a death of one woman, following which vigorous effort was made to nab the criminal, in the midst of which one commercial sex worker, her face and neck left with marks over painful hits, came to Aizawl Police Station one morning.
It was learnt, he continued, that the prostitute who came to the police station that morning had encountered an unfortunate incident in a jungle when her customer, unwilling to pay money, strangled her in order to kill her.
The mischievous man left her, thinking she was dead. But the woman regained consciousness at dawn, and came to the Police Station for help. The marks of bite left on the neck of the murdered woman and the dental casting of the arrested man matched well, thus the criminal identified and thereby a heavy criminal case registered against him, the SP narrated.
