According to the police, the Unit 7 officials received a tip-off that Khan has been running a high profile prostitution racket and claimed to provide actors and models.
A dummy customer then approached Khan, who demanded Rs 4 lakh from him.
According to a Free Press Journal report, after a series of meetings, Khan agreed and asked the dummy customer to meet her at a three star hotel in Juhu on Thursday.
The Crime Branch officials had already laid a trap. As Khan arrived with the two women, they apprehended her.
One of the women who was part of the racket is a very popular social media personality and has millions of followers on Instagram.
She was also part of the controversial HotShots Live App run by Shilpa Shetty’s husband Raj Kundra. The second woman who was rescued had also done live shows on various online apps.
Her name has featured in the charge sheet filed against the nine accused who were arrested in February as part of the Mumbai porn racket. She used to perform strip shows for Raj Kundra’s App and earned lakhs.
“We have booked Khan under relevant sections of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act and handed her to Santacruz police station for further investigation. The rescued women have been sent to a Mankhurd remand home,” said the police in a statement.
