DCW Chief Swati Maliwal stated, “A 22-year-old girl was employed by the spa by assuring her that she will be asked to massage only women. However, to her shock and disbelief, she was raped by the manager and a client. Why are illegal spas allowed to operate in Delhi? Why do the authorities fail to check the prostitution rackets running in spas? Strongest action must be taken in this matter.”

She stated that on August 4, the manager of the spa introduced her to a client and gave her a drink laced with intoxicants, after which the manager and the client allegedly raped her, it stated.
