Ras Al Khaimah: The anti-human trafficking section at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of Ras Al Khaimah police has arrested a group of Asians for alleged involvement in prostitution.

Colonel Salem Sultan Al Darmaki, Director of the CID at Ras Al Khaimah Police, said the department received information about Asian women working as prostitutes
