Nashik , a prominent center for commerce, industry, and pilgrimage in Maharashtra, is facing a concerning issue. Despite its rich history of ancient temples and historical sites, investigations have uncovered that certain accommodations on Trimbak Road are operating secret brothels under the guise of lodging for devotees.  Local residents have reported that some lodge managers are exploiting college girls for such activities.

Reports suggest that most lodges on Trimbak Street are running illegal brothels, causing outrage in the community as lodgings intended for devotees are being misused. The involvement of women in the sex trade is widespread, with migrant youth and women heavily involved in this profession.  Shockingly, even college-ag...
