Kochi- Ernakulam sex trafficking case.
Akbar Ali used to lure Hindu girls under the pretext of love, drug them, trap them and throw them into prostitution.
He reportedly earned lakhs by operating the racket.
The racket operated behind 24-hour shops and allegedly has links to massage parlours across Kochi, many of which use misleading names to attract clients.
According to law enforcement, he is the principal accused in a 2025 immoral trafficking case registered by the Kadavanthra police centred around a local lodge.
Akbar Ali is also a drug dealer.
Akbar used to find clients through an app. Pictures of the girls would be sent on WhatsApp to those who approach them online. Later, they would be taken to the prostitution centre.
Shafiq and Mansoor Ali were also involved in the operation.
All the girls were North Indian. Some women from Kerala, including students and IT professionals, were also said to be part of the trade.
Police rescued six young women, including minors in July 2025 near the Ernakulam South railway station area from the clutches of these Mus perpetrators.
