The rescue of the Russian woman and other evidence have led the police to also look at a possible prostitution racket, said sources. Delhi Police arrested a 62-year-old businessman, Pritindra Nath Sanyal, Thursday on charges of running a human trafficking racket and cheating government officials by posing as a Member of Parliament. The income-tax team informed police they had found the Russian woman from his Safdarjung Enclave house. “She had cut her wrist and claimed the businessman had confined her against her will,” the source added. She had come to India on tourist visa on February 25 and had visited Jaipur, Sariska and Delhi,” said Singh.
