Thiruvananthapuram: One of the main organisers of "kiss of love protest" Rahul Pashupalan and his wife Rashmi Nair have been taken into custody by the police allegedly in connection with an online sex racket.
“Kiss of love" was held in November 2014 and spread to many parts of the country. It created a storm in Kerala because it was the first time such a unique protest was attempted there. The protest was organised against moral policing and the issue came immediately after a hotel in Kozhikode was ransacked stating that couples sit together and have intimate moments there.
According to police sources, the online sex trafficking team used to lure customers by using the pictures of Rashmi Nair who was an active participant of the “kiss of love" protests. The police team who was behind the online sex traffickers found that the online racket is also involved in child trafficking.
According to police sources, they fixed up five of them including two children. Police took into custody a 17 and an 18-year-old from the Kochi airport who has been brought in from Bengaluru.
Sources say that during questioning, Rashmi and her husband Rahul said that they were unaware of the fact that mementos of this gang was involved in child trafficking.
