The act done by you is punishable by the law under the immoral trafficking prevention. You shouldn't contact the broker again not the call girls. I think you lie low for a while ie dont contact him or the call girls. Don't contact the person who has lead you to the broker.

Police can't book you under any offence till you are not having sex with her in brothel
the Karnataka High Court recently ruled that there is “no penalty” for a “customer” who uses the services of a prostitute.
2)
The petition was filed under Section 482 of CrPC in order to quash the entire proceedings in crime registered under Section 370 of IPC and Sections 3, 4, 5 and 7 of the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act.
The 1956 legislation intends to combat trafficking and sexual exploitation for commercial purposes. While prostitution is not an offence, practising it in a brothel or within 200 metre of any public place is illegal
However, the judge while elaborating on the sections under the ITP Act stated that there was no provision that held the customer guilty.
Section 3 of the ITP Act provides punishment for running a brothel or allowing premises to be used as a brothel, Section 4 provides for punishment of living on the earnings of the prostitution, Section 5 provides procuring, inducing or taking a person for the sake of prostitution and Section 7 applies to prostitution and in or in the vicinity of public place.
“This court has consistently come to the conclusion after analyzing the above said provisions 3, 4 & 5, that the constitution of the offences are not made-out so far as the customers are concerned,” reads the verdict.
- If a person caught red handed at the time doing wrongs i.e. sex and the girl lodge a compliant against that person , then he can be arrested under the act of immoral traffic ..
- Since, when you call a girl who was a professional and that time no raid taking place, hence police cannot arrest you for acts done in the past , even if there is any complaint for rape by that girl and she disclose a name.
- Further, as per Supreme court, the consensual sex is not an offence in India ,if the opposite sex is a major.
- Hence, to book a major call girl out of any parlors etc. , is not come under the offence.
Hi, unless and until you receive the call from the Police, you don't bother too much. Suppose, If the Police will register the case against you then you can apply for anticipatory bail. Further, it is difficult to say under which provisions of law police may register the case against you.
Dear Client,
As you are a customer, you did not commit any offence and are not liable for any penalty, so the police can not book for you this as did not get caught in a brothel or for rape.
Thank you
There is no provision under the law, which makes prostitution per se a criminal offence. However, seducing any person for the purpose of prostitution or running a brothel is illegal.
A client is guilty of consorting with prostitutes and can be charged if he engages in sex acts with a sex worker within 200 yards of a public place or "notified area.
Public place in context of this law includes places of public religious worship, educational institutions, hostels, hospitals etc.
A "notified area" is a place which is declared to be "prostitution-free" by the state government under the PITA.
Brothel in context of this law, is a place which has two or more sex workers (2a).
Prostitution itself is not an offence under this law, but soliciting, brothels, madams and pimps are illegal.
However in your case you have not been found to indulge in the prostitution activities in any public place or notified area.
Moreover you have not been caught in a raid.
The mere availability of your phone number with the broker is not a crime including the money transfer to him.
Prostitution itself is not an illegal act.
Hence your fears for the possible action by police afterwards are unnecessary.
Dear Sir,
There would be no serious implication and you may get anticipatory bail if any FIR is issued. Normally, it will be considered as petty case. If police goes on registering such cases on the customers then every four person have to face such criminal charges.
