CHENNAI: City police have arrested two more persons in connection with the arrest of a couple, who allegedly forced their minor daughter into prostitution.
Police, who found that the couple had filmed obscene video clips of the girl, and uploaded them online, have arrested the two men for paying money online to watch the clips of minor girls.
One of the arrested persons is from Tambaram while another is a resident of Mandaveli, police sources said.
Mylapore AWPS (All Women Police Station) personnel had arrested the couple on Thursday based on a complaint filed by the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) authorities. The officers tracked the husband, who was involved in the real estate business in Raja Annamalai Puram.
