Bengaluru Sees Steady Rise in Immoral Trafficking

|September 15, 2025
Police Attribute Rise in Numbers to Stricter Enforcement and Raids
BENGALURU has seen a steady rise in cases registered under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act (ITPA)—from 96 in 2019 to 176 in 2024, with 122 already registered till August this year. Senior police officers attribute this rise to stricter enforcement, though challenges persist on online platforms.
According to city police data, 98 cases were registered in 2019, 136 in 2020, 129 in 2021, 155 in 2022, 180 in 2023, 176 in 2024, and 122 till August this year.
A senior police officer explained that while a woman, in her individual capacity, charges money from a man to have sex is not a crime under the Act, running it an organized way, such as running a brothel, trafficking individuals for prostitution, or soliciting in public is illegal.

'Groundwork key for gender parity'
WHILE the recently introduced labour laws have, for the first time, prohibited gender disparity in the workplace and given statutory backing to the principle of ‘equal pay for equal work’, labour and HR experts say that substantial groundwork is required from employers to make these rules truly implementable.
