Thiruvananthapuram: Two more persons were arrested by the Kerala police on Monday in connection with the online sex racket and for having links with the organisers of 'kiss of love' protest Rahul Pashupalan and his wife Rashmi Nair.
Those who were arrested identified as Jaison and Anoop and both of them were remanded in police custody for further investigation. Based on sources information a team of policemen in Ernakulam raided a house and picked them up for interrogation.
On November 18, both Rahul and his wife - key organisers of 'kiss of love' protest - were arrested allegedly in connection with an online sex racket.
Meanwhile, Rahul, while entering a local court for hearing, defended himself and said that he has been targeted by those in power.
'Kiss of love' was held in November 2014 and spread to many parts of the country. It created a storm in Kerala because it was the first time such a unique protest was attempted there. The protest was organised against moral policing and the issue came immediately after a hotel in Kozhikode was ransacked stating that couples sit together and have intimate moments there.
According to police sources, the online sex trafficking team used to lure customers by using the pictures of Rashmi Nair who was an active participant of the 'kiss of love' protests. The police team who was behind the online sex traffickers found that the online racket is also involved in child trafficking.
So far the police had arrested 12 persons in this connection.
