Not only did it show them in bad light, the constant police interference also spoiled their business. Authorities henceforth, should not conduct raids and interfere with these businesses, said the judge according to the report. Only a 'special police officer' or a 'trafficking officer' can enter the premises of a massage parlour and carry out a search without a warrant, but for doing this he must have reasonable grounds to believe that some offence is being committed, said the judge according to the report. Tweet
