The NIA arrested a man from Hyderabad on Saturday for alleged involvement in the trafficking of women from Bangladesh to India for sexual exploitation, an official said.

Justin alias Abdul Salam, 47, the key conspirator in the cross-border human trafficking racket case, was involved in running brothels at various places in Hyderabad and other parts of India, he said, Times of India reported.

The case, registered by the NIA last year under the relevant provisions of the IPC and the Prevention of Immoral Traffic Act, pertains to the trafficking of people from Bangladesh to various cities in India including Hyderabad for sexual exploitation, the official said.

Justin along with his associates conspired to bring girls illegally from Bangladesh through a well-organised network of agents in Bangladesh and India for engaging them in prostitution, the NIA said.

In the case, three Bangladeshi nationals Mohd. Yousuf Khan, Bithi Begum and Sojib Shaik, and one Indian national, Ruhul Amin Dhalli, have already been arrested and a charge sheet against them was filed in March this year, the premier investigation agency said.

Searches were conducted at Justin's ancestral and rented houses, and "incriminating" documents have been recovered, it said. Two young women were also rescued from Justin's house during the searches.

They had been illegally trafficked into India a few months ago from Bangladesh for sexual exploitation through his associates, it said. Further investigation in the case is going on, the NIA added
