New Delhi: The first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru was a freedom fighter, a great orator and a well-read writer, these were only few of his qualities.






Born to Motilal Nehru, Jawaharlal was born in Allahabad's Meergunj area. But little had anyone known that the  place which gave birth to a great leader would one day turn into a hub of flesh trade.

Meergunj area today has become one of the biggest red-light areas of the country. Sex workers  were kept in this area by the British for their entertainment.

Motilal Nehru was a barrister and after he began making handsome money, the Nehru family moved to a posh locality in Civil Lines area in a rented bungalow.
