Lucknow, April 3: Uttar Pradesh police is planning a crackdown on friendship clubs and massage parlours in the state for duping youths in the name of offering companionship besides charging hefty amount from them.

“We are requesting newspapers for not carrying advertisements of such clubs and parlours or at least draw some guidelines to ensure their genuineness,” said Brijlal, ADG Law and order.

Legal proceedings would also be initiated against bank employees, who open accounts of these clubs without verifying necessary documents, he said.

In Uttar Pradesh over a dozen gangs were busted in past one year for duping youths in the guise of ‘friendship clubs’.

As majority of these clubs and parlours were involved in flesh trade, a check on their activities was a must, he said, adding the process of targeting such establishments had already started.
