Now! No 'paid sex' without Aadhaar card in Goa
Banks and cellphone companies aren't the only ones demanding your Aadhaar card. Pimps in Goa are also making it mandatory. A group of young men flew to Goa where they booked a hotel in the North Goa beach belt and made enquiries for five girls. The man promised to revert soon. For the next few hours, the group waited in anticipation. After having established the caller was genuinely from Delhi, the man called back, and demanded they send a photograph of their Aadhaar cards via WhatsApp. Agents and pimps don't want to leave anything to chance and verify customers' identity with Aadhaar card to ensure they are not police decoys. "Even after so many checks, the number of girls demanded will not be delivered. Pimps refrain from supplying many girls at once because if 5-10 of them are caught in one police raid, their entire earning collapses," says a police officer. "Ninety per cent of tourist who visit goa lured by websites and social media for escorts and call girls cases end up being cheated," says an officer. "The pimp points to a girl standing on a balcony who waves to the customer. The customer pays around Rs 4,000 to the pimp. The tourist is then asked to go up to the room. When he knocks, nobody opens the door. Hearing the banging on the door, those from neighbouring apartments come out (possibly planted by the pimps), and make a noise, forcing the tourist to leave." -PTC News
