A special team was formed and a decoy customer was sent to the guest house, and he negotiated with the manager named Sanjeev, the police said. When the deal was finalised, the decoy customer entered the guesthouse and signalled the team, which raided the place.

Last year, a case was registered under the Foreigners Act for illegally hosting foreign nationals in the same guesthouse. Further probe is underway,'' said Inspector Vinod Kumar, SHO of Sector 56 police station.
