IAS Officer Tina Dabi Raids Rajasthan Spa Centre On Sex Racket Suspicion

Tina Dabi, one of India's most popular civil services officers, was posted as the district collector of Rajasthan's Barmer last month. Since her new appointment, she has been in action mode - she is sometimes seen sweeping roads as part of a cleanliness campaign initiated by her and sometimes reprimanding doctors who were found to be negligent during hospital inspections. All these actions happened on camera and the videos garnered a lot of traction on social media.

This morning, Ms Dabi raided a spa centre, which was reportedly a front for an alleged sex racket.

A cleaning campaign was underway near the Sadar police station area when all of a sudden Tina Dabi arrived for a surprise inspection. During the inspection, she noticed a spa centre whose doors were locked from inside. She asked the officials to open these doors. But even after knocking several times, no one opened the door.

Suspicious by then, some policemen entered the spa centre through the roof while others broke the door and entered inside. There were many rooms inside the spa centre, in which five girls and two men were found in objectionable conditions, police said. Sadar police station took all of them into custody on suspicion of prostitution and all of them are being questioned.
