Actress Yamuna charged with prostitution

Reports reaching here say that Bangalore City Crime branch police on Thursday caught red-handed noted Tamil and Telugu actress Yamuna and Suraksha in a five-star hotel in Bangalore city for their alleged involvement in a prostitution racket.

According to police, the raids were conducted on ITC Royal Gardenia Hotel on Thursday based on definite clues. The police arrested nine persons, including Yamuna, Suraksha and Venu Gopal for allegedly running a prostitution racket.

Both Suraksha and Yamuna have acted in a few Telugu and Tamil films and serials. A prominent software company proprietor was also among the arrested.

Earlier, film actresses like Vineeta, Bhuvaneshwari and in recent memory Saira Banu and Jyoti have been accused of being involved in prostitution.

Insiders say that the film actresses take to prostitution as film offers dwindle and roles are hard to come by.

Shockingly, actress Vinita had told media persons after being held for prostitution that she was forced to resort to the step after her mother told her that this was an easy way of getting roles in films.

One more reason for falling into prostitution is as most of stars are addicted to luxurious style of living.
