**Bhubaneswar:** A 300-page chargesheet was submitted by the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Commissionerate Police in the Khurda SDJM Court here on Friday against inter-state sex racket kingpin Sunil Meher and his nine conduits from the state capital city here.
The high-profile sex racketeer was nabbed from the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Dum Dum area in Kolkata by the Quick Action Team (QAT) of the Commissionerate Police (CP) on April 21 this year.
Notorious Sunil Meher was the most wanted inter-state sex racket prime pimp by the QAT as several cases were lodged against him. He was not only active in Odisha, but also in other states.
The CP had formed the QAT specially to get the fugitive in its dragnet as he had then managed to give police a slip during raids on his hideouts here in the city.
Notably, Sunil became elusive after a Kyrgyz woman was rescued and a person identified as Somesh Panda was arrested during a raid on an apartment in Chandrasekharpur area here on March 23 this year.
Panda was allegedly an aide of Meher.
Talking to Ommcom News, Police Commissioner YB Khurania said, “Several cases have been registered against Sunil in various police stations here. Instruction has been issued to the police stations to complete the pending investigations in all the cases booked under ITP Act and also file further chargesheets soon”.
Cases under Section 370 (clause 1), 109 and 34 of IPC and Suppression of Immoral Trafficking (Prevention) Act have been slapped against Sunil Meher.
Police sources said Sunil had a good number of agents across the country and managed the modus operandi between customers and sex workers.
Even foreign girls were being roped in for the high profile flesh trade. Meher became most wanted since July 2015.
At least 12 cases have been registered against him and he has earlier been arrested at least seven times in Odisha since 2010.
It is also suspected Meher has got links with the international sex racket.
After being arrested twice in 2010, Meher was allegedly operating his sex trade from Kolkata since 2011. He was arrested by police in Kolkata in December 2011.
