[Assam] For Rs 3, 000, girls are selling themselves in city bars

Thu Jul 26 19:55:37 PDT 2007

Ram-da,

I amy be naive - I haven't utilized the services of prostitutes so far (unlike my father's eldest brother for whom it was a second home - in India and Nepal) so may not know whether it is illegal or not -- but I have heard that it is illegal in USA -- is it so? if so then why or why not -- where is the liberality.

For your info I got a prostitute kicked out from her  new lodging by the police  just opposite  Jaipur School when she tried to lure high school students by sitting on the road outside her new home right opposite Jaipur School and calling them over .
Was that right - who was right?

 Umesh! are you serious or are just naive? I am not even sure how to approach this comment. I will just leave it at that.

my oh my...Thank you! 

Nothing but an attempt to stir up some sensation by THE Sentinel. It does not yet discuss why these girls "sell" themselves or why are people in Ghy so desperate to spend 20000Rs. as tip to spend some time with these girls... 

Thank you The Sentinel, I now know you stooped too low for me to catch up with you.

Sex and our city  Part I  
By our Staff Reporter
GUWAHATI, July 26: Believe it or not, the capital city is fast becoming a crime city. With the city police stressing specifically on law and order and insurgency, petty crimes in Guwahati are on the rise. And now the bars are adding to it all. It is alleged that illegal activities are going on in these bars and on weekends, during parties, the bars almost become centres of flesh trade. In recent cases, one person was killed by his friend at Ganeshguri and one girl was badly roughed up by his boyfriend at Christian Basti.  
Out of 197 bars in Guwahati, the bars with permission to open till late night are 16. These late-night bars should be closed by 11.30 pm. But it is seen that most of the bars remain open till 1.30 or 2 am, thus defying the order. It is alleged that in these bars, police and excise departments take undue advantage. And to find out the truth, The Sentinel carried out a week-long investigation as to what might be going on inside the some of the lounge-bars.  
>From 4.30 pm to 6 pm, many girls and aspiring models enter some of these bars. For this they do not have to pay any money. They are called entertainment girls. When The Sentinel team entered one of these bars and sat at one of the corners under dim light, the waiter took its order and left. Just near the counter, three girls were cracking jokes among themselves and trying to draw our attention. When the waiter came, one of the girls talked to him and passed a phone number for us. The name of the girl was Puja. (We have the mobile number but we are not disclosing it.) Later, she approached us, sat down near us, and asked: "Do you like to make friendship?"  
Every customer has one girl with him in these bars and girls are called entertainment girls. For sitting with someone for hours, they do not charge money but the person has to bear the expenses of their food and alcohol. Yes, you can give her tips also, if you want to have 'close' relations with her! This is called 'sitting'. One of the girls, Neha, told us she earns around Rs 20,000 per month from tips. The bars provide these entertainment girls to the customers and for this, the girls are paid a handsome amount. 
The Sentinel also came to know that on weekend parties hosted by these bars, the entry fee per person is from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000. But the girls in question do not have to pay any entry fee at all. And if one does not have any girlfriend with him, there is no need to worry, for he will get enough of them inside the bars to accompany him for hours together. One can even take them to any place. These call girls are basically from the city hostels located in Bhangagarh, Uzan Bazaar, Zoo Road etc. Most of these girls are from Lakhimpur, Jorhat and Dibrugarh.  
Talking to The Sentinel one of the call girls, Monika (name changed), said: "We earn around Rs 1,000 per night for dancing with one customer and if they want us to provide entertainment, we earn around Rs 3,000 to Rs 4,000. What's the problem? We are enjoying and entertainment is a must for all."  
But how will you meet these girls? What does the police say? Why is there no frisking of customers at entry points in these bars? All these will be revealed in the next report.
