The case was registered by the city police on April 21, 2019 following the rescue of six Bangladeshi girls from brothel houses run by the accused Yousuf Khan, Bithi Begum and Sojib Shaik.
The case was re-registered with the NIA, Hyderabad branch office, on September 17, 2019. The NIA arrested accused Ruhul Amin Dhali and filed the first chargesheet against Mohd Yousuf Khan, Bithi Begum, Sojib Shaik and Dhali on March 10 this year.
