Bangalore, February 22: Six persons have been arrested for allegedly running a thriving prostitution racket. Over the last two years, they'd killed three associates following differences over sharing of the spoils.

Lethal weapons, including an electric cable used to commit the murders, have been recovered from the culprits. A chance arrest of four persons who were moving suspiciously at Shettyhalli near Peena on February 7 led to the unearthing of the racket. The arrested were SK Parameshwara Gowda alias Girish, 28, from Bylappa Circle in T Dasarahalli; NK Umesh, 23, Andhrahalli; HM Mahesh alias Toli Mahesh, 23, of Pipeline Road in T Dasarahalli; C Nagesh, 23, of Abbigere Cross in Nanje Gowda Extension.

The two others arrested later were Chalapathy alias Reddy, 24, of Vidyaranyapura and Raju, 22, of Manorayanapalya.

The six gangsters brought young girls to the city and pushed them into the flesh trade. They first hacked to death their accomplice, Srinivas, an auto driver from Kunigal. Srinivas, in charge of ferrying women in his vehicle, was murdered in Chalapathy's house near Vidyaranyapura in November 2010. The gangsters later dumped the body in Hemavathy canal, Hassan district.

On November 14, 2010, Srinivas'wife lodged a police complaint but there was no breakthrough in the case. The gangsters murdered another accomplice, Umesh, 24, as he refused to part with jewellery and cash the gang had looted from a couple.

On December 5, 2011, Umesh was strangled to death. The body was dumped in Hemavathy canal. The gangsters killed another accomplice, Madhu, 28, from Hassan district on February 5. His body was burnt in a forest.

Palghar, Mar 7: Police have arrested a man for allegedly cheating several shopkeepers in Maharashtra's Thane, Pune and Nashik by making phone calls in a woman's voice, police said on Friday.

The accused, Shashikant Ambekar (42), a resident of Palghar, was arrested in the last week of February, they said.

"He used to note down the phone numbers mentioned on different shops and call the owners in a woman's voice to order some things from them. He would tell them that he had a Rs 2000 currency note and needed change," an official said.

"He would ask the shopkeepers to send smaller denomination notes for exchange. He would wait at the entrance of buildings and when the delivery man arrived, he used to tell that he was there on behalf of the ''caller woman''.

"He would then take the currency notes from the delivery man saying he would get the Rs 2,000 note from the woman. However, he would disappear from the scene," the official said.

Police have seized Rs 1,85,000 from the accused and found that so far he has committed 22 similar crimes in different parts of the state.
