Mumbai: Mumbai Police have arrested a TV actress, known for her appearance on the crime show Savdhaan India, and a model for their alleged involvement in a high profile sex racket. 

The social service branch of Mumbai Police acted on a tip-off about the presence of the sex racket in the Goregaon area. 

After the tip-off, an undercover cop posing as a 'supplier' contacted some persons who were associated with the racket. After laying the trap, a police team raided a building near Film City and arrested four people, including the two models.  Other two are believed to be operatives of the racket who contacted the clients to supply girls. The police are yet to arrest the kingpin of the racket. 

The people involved in the racket had agreed to take three girls and were willing to pay Rs. 5,000, according to the IE.

The arrests were made when the undercover police official met the accused outside Oberoi Mall in Goregaon. The accused have been identified as Sayra and Ashraf alias Aman. During the interrogation, they revealed the names of the two models who were paid between Rs. 50,000 and Rs. 1 lakh for each time.

The racket used social media to share the photographs of models and actors with their prospective clients. Once the client selected the woman and confirmed the deal, she was supplied to him. 

The clientele of the racket mostly involved high profile businesses and corporate. 

A case has been registered at the Dindoshi police station and police have started further investigation.
