SONU PUNJABAN, 38

Arrested on December 24, 2017,

Geeta Arora alias Sonu Punjaban ran one of the biggest prostitution rackets in the city. A native of Rohtak, she was last arrested on the complaint of a 13-year-old girl, who alleged that Sonu beat her, drugged her and forced her into prostitution. In 2011, police had booked Sonu under charges of stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).

Her first husband, Vijay Singh, a gangster, was killed in a police encounter in 2004. Her second husband, Hemant Singh, too met the same fate and was killed in 2006 by a police team in Gurgaon. She has five cases of murder, immoral trafficking act and POCSO against her. Sonu told police that she has around 15-20 men in her gang.

She claims to have gifted a Hyundai Creta car worth at least ₹10 lakh to her boyfriend last year and also given each man in her gang a second hand car to pick and drop women. Police are scanning Paytm accounts, which her gang used to get money for ‘call girls’. She reportedly told the police that she earns around ₹50,000 every day from one girl.
