The Hyderabad police claimed to have busted a high-profile prostitution racket and “saved” two actresses on Sunday.

Police identified the two actresses as Richa A Saksena, who acted in Telugu movie “June 1:43” and Subhra Chatterjee, a Bengali TV serial actor.

Deputy Commissioner of Police P.Radhakishan Rao said simultaneous raids were conducted at two five-star hotels in upscale Banjara Hills in the early hours of Sunday.

According to police, 24-year-old Richa, a resident of Mumbai and hailing from Gujarat’s Himatnagar district, was “rescued” from room no 328 of Taj Deccan, while 20-year-old Subhra, from West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, was “rescued” from room no. 412, Taj Banjara.

Police said that Kadakia is a native of Mumbai, and casting director and event manager with contacts in Bollywood and Tollywood.
