FILMINDIA April, 19 on the 29th February where two disguised agents of the C.I.D. had taken the girl for a bout of paid love. The Police was informed that a young Muslim named Aziz-ul-llaq was supplying film actresses and studio extras for immoral purposes and was living upon their earnings. These ladies of easy virtue, it is stated, were catered for Rs. 100 each and upwards, the price being fixed in proportion to their age and looks. A trap was laid by the Police to collar the pimp red handed. Two bogus customers who were provided with marked money were sent to strike a deal with Aziz-ulHaq. They were taken by the obliging Aziz to Chothia Mahal at Walkeshwar, where the film actress Khurshid Akhtar who has assumed the screen name of Asha was living. The two bogus "customers" thence proceeded to the hotel at Juhu accompanied by Asha alias Khurshid Akhtar for whom they had paid Rs. 200 to Aziz-ul-Haq. Later, when Police arrived at the place, it is reported that Asha was found in the company of one of the two customers in a state of nature. Earlier, when Asha and the two "customers" motored to Juhu the police had raided the residence of Aziz-ul-Haq and recovered the marked money in currency notes. Haq was subsequently arrested on the charge of living on the earnings of prostitution by a deputy inspector of the Vigilance Police. FILM ARTISTE AT 102! New York, March 14.
