A prostitution racket operating under the guise of a massage parlour run by Ahana Khan was recently exposed in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, following a police raid. Acting on a tip-off, a team led by CO Civil Lines Abhishek Tiwari, along with the HTU unit, raided “The Caesar Family Massage Parlour,” situated near CCSU in the Medical Police Station area, and uncovered the illegal operation.
A bank employee recently filed a police complaint, claiming he was blackmailed after visiting a massage parlour. According to the employee, his visit was secretly recorded using hidden cameras, and the footage was later used to extort him. The accused initially demanded Rs 3 lakh and threatened to make the video public unless he paid an additional Rs 5 lakh.
Upon receiving the complaint, the police conducted a thorough surveillance of the massage parlour. Plainclothes officers were deployed nearby to monitor the situation. As the premises became busier, a raid was carried out. Inside, several rooms were found to be occupied by individuals involved in inappropriate activities.
The police raid caused a stir at the parlour, leading to the arrest of 16 individuals found in compromising situations. Among those detained were nine women, seven men, a receptionist, a wholesale in-charge, and several service providers. Local residents expressed shock, revealing they had no knowledge of the illicit activities taking place behind the guise of a massage parlour.

According to the police, the parlour offered two types of services: “simple massage” and “extra massage.” Customers who chose the latter were allegedly introduced to illicit activities. Women’s photos were shown to clients, with prices set depending on their selection. Some women were present at the parlour, while others were brought in via phone calls. The entire operation was carefully coordinated by a gang managing the illegal activities.
During the raid, police confiscated CCTV footage and DVRs, which are expected to provide further evidence. Objectionable items were also recovered from the premises. Meerut SP City Ayush Vikram Singh called the incident “shocking” and vowed to take strict action against those responsible. “Nine women and seven men were detained, and illicit items were seized. We are currently reviewing the footage to identify all individuals involved in this operation,” he stated.
