A major political controversy has erupted in Uttar Pradesh after police uncovered a sex racket operating from a flat linked to BJP leader Shalini Yadav in Varanasi. The apartment, registered under her husband Arun Yadav’s name, was raided Monday night in the Sigra area, leading to the detention of nine women and four men. Police stated that the operation was based on prior intelligence and that the flat had been used for illegal activities under the guise of a spa center. Locals claimed suspicious movements had been ongoing for months. Opposition parties have seized on the incident, accusing the Yogi Adityanath government of failing to maintain law and order and shielding wrongdoing under political influence. The BJP has distanced itself, calling it a personal matter, but the issue has caused discomfort within the party ahead of key political periods. Police are continuing their investigation and plan to question Shalini and Arun Yadav to determine their involvement.
