July 25th, 2011 - 10:17 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, July 25 (IANS) Six Uzbek women who visited India on tourist visas but became call girls were held here, the second time in just a week that foreigners have been arrested for prostitution.
The arrests were made Sunday night from Greater Kailash II in south Delhi, a police officer told IANS. They were in the age group of 23 to 28 years.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Ashok Chand said the women were led by a woman pimp, also from Uzbekistan, who had operated in Delhi and adjoining areas for three years. She is on the run.

The call girls resided at Greater Kailash II, Safdarjung Enclave and Arjun Nagar in south Delhi.
