Abdul Bariq Shaikh allegedly ran brothels with the help of his wife as well as accomplice Anjumara by procuring women from Bangladesh and various places in India with the help of Burhan by paying him around Rs 15,000 to Rs 20,000 for each woman.
Shaikh appointed Mafijur Biswas and Janilabdin, who are both Bangladeshi nationals, as assistants to escort to his brothels, the release said, adding, that Mafijur Biswas is absconding.
