Meghalaya police secured transit remand of Marak, who was arrested from Uttar Pradesh’s Hapur district on Tuesday. Marak who was produced in a court in Hapur yesterday was later taken to Delhi by road in the evening and will be flown into Guwahati today.

This is the exclusive picture of Bernard Marak moments before he was produced in the court in Hapur.

The absconding Tura MDC accused of running a prostitution racket in his farmhouse on the outskirts of Tura was arrested from Hapur in Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday after a countrywide lookout notice was issued against him.

Marak was apprehended when he was traveling in a hired vehicle. He had been absconding since last Friday after a raid at his 30-room farmhouse on the outskirts of Tura.

5 minors were rescued from the place by the police while around 70 others including 23 women were arrested.

Meanwhile, a magisterial inquiry has been ordered into the farmhouse raid case to ascertain whether Bernard Marak is the legal owner of the property where the raid took place.

It will also be ascertained whether proper permission was taken from the competent authority for running the establishment.
