MUMBAI: India TV's Most Wanted has once again proved instrumental in nabbing the infamous alleged sex racketeer and film producer of Mumbai Rekha Naik.
On 6 February Most Wanted presented a detailed report on Rekha Naik at 9 PM in the evening, as a result of which calls came in regarding the same to the Crime Prevention control room which started receiving information about Rekha Naik from the Mumbai viewers. As soon as India TV's crime prevention team received the information, they quickly supplied it to the crime branch of Oshiwara police station. The police conducted many raids, and at around 3 am in the morning Naik was nabbed.
The police claimed that Rekha Naik was actively involved in running a sex racket. She used to supply girls to the people from the film industry. Most of the girls were aspirant models or actors.
Rekha herself is believed to have landed in Mumbai with the hope of becoming an actor many years back. Since she was unsuccessful in her endeavour in becoming an actor, she decided to cash her contacts. She has recently produced a film called Hosh.
In the span of merely eight months India TV's Most Wanted has enabled the police to capture more than 23 fugitives. The total tally of the programme till date traces 85 since the programme started on Zee.
India TV's Most Wanted can be seen on India TV every Sunday at 9 PM
