After visiting two locations, the STF has arrested a total of 16 persons, including the famous Tollywood actor. The two spas fall in areas under Taltala Police Station and Tollygunge Police Station.

After police arrested Saugata for being involved in the sex racket, the actor’s professional career got doomed. From everywhere he is receiving hateful comments.

The actor is feeling ashamed for his bad deeds. After coming out from custody, Saugata said, “I had no choice but to commit suicide after my name got involved in this matter. My wife gave me courage and did not leave my side.”

“I went to that spa for the very first time. I had no idea what was going on inside. As soon as I entered the spa, a boy took me inside. Then all of a sudden, I screamed and asked the boy to let me go outside of the spa, “he added.

Saugata also said, “I did not understand that the STF branch and the intelligence department of the Kolkata police were conducting raids. My name got involved in this matter. The police didn’t listen to my request and took me to the custody. Even my mobile phone was taken away.”
