Three sex workers and three customers were arrested during a raid conducted by the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU), East Khasi Hills SP said today.
The raid was conducted on July 2 at around 11 pm after complaints were received by the police that sex workers have been operating in the Barik-Dhankheti road as clients were also seen coming in vehicles there, the SP said.
