Digital Desk: Bernard N. Marak, the vice-president of the BJP for Meghalaya, was detained in Uttar Pradesh on charges that he ran a brothel out of his Tura farmhouse. In the Uttar Pradesh district of Hapur, he was detained.
After 73 people
were detained and six juveniles were rescued from Marak's farmhouse,
"Rimpu Bagan," during a Saturday raid, Marak had been on the run.
Marak, according to the police, has been asked to assist with the investigation
but is avoiding them.
Hours after Meghalaya Police issued a
lookout alert for the BJP leader, the arrest occurred.
A Tura court had issued an arrest

The police reported that five kids
who had been imprisoned at a Marak-owned resort in Tura were freed on Saturday.
They said that the location was being used as a "brothel," and that
the raid resulted in the detention of 47 young men and 26 women, many of whom
were discovered to be inebriated and unclothed.
