One college girl from Mangaluru was also found. All the five rescued women have been lodged in a counselling centre in the city.

The police have arrested Hazeera and the three male customers Praveen Attavar, Manju Gadag and Prakash Bikarnakatte.

All the four have been accused under Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act 1956. The five rescued women will be used as witnesses for the case, the police said.
