MARGAO: A group of sex workers held a protest at the Margao Police Station and alleged that they are being harassed by police staff.

The group ensured their voices were heard loud and clear by the police as well as the public when they accused some unnamed police staff of trying to extort money from them. They further alleged that the police staffs demand sexual favours too.

The protesting sex workers denied allegations that they were involved in theft cases and stated that they have in fact helped the police department in the past to catch thieves.

The protestors also questioned the harassment meted out to them by the police and demanded that they be allowed to live in peace with dignity.
