In an operation focused on preventing street prostitution, the Kukatpally police rescued 31 women and four transgenders and booked five different cases under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956.
A team of 49 police officials from the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit (AHTU), SHE Teams and Kukatpally and KPHB police conducted a drive on Wednesday night near Bhagya Nagar bus stand, and under the KPHB metro station.
The rescued individuals were produced before the Tahsildar of Kukatpally mandal for a bind-over to ensure good behaviour.
Following the procedure, they will be issued notices under Section 35 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and released.
This comes shortly after a similar operation was conducted earlier in October in which 22 individuals were rescued. A total of six cases, four in Kukatpally and two in KPHB were booked and the individuals were bound over by the Mandal Revenue Officer (MRO), Kukatpally.
